God's Gonna Cut You Down Lyrics - American V: A Hundred Highways - Johnny Cash

You can run on for a long time 

Run on for a long time 

Run on for a long time 

Sooner or later God'll cut you down 

Sooner or later God'll cut you down 

Go tell that long tongue liar 

Go and tell that midnight rider 

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter 

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down 

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news 

My head's been wet with the midnight dew 

I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee 

He spoke to me in the voice so sweet 

I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet 

He called my name and my heart stood still 

When he said, "John go do My will!" 

Go tell that long tongue liar 

Go and tell that midnight rider 

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter 

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down 

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down 

You can run on for a long time 

Run on for a long time 

Run on for a long time 

Sooner or later God'll cut you down 

Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand 

Workin' in the dark against your fellow man 

But as sure as God made black and white 

What's down in the dark will be brought to the light 

You can run on for a long time 

Run on for a long time 

Run on for a long time 

Sooner or later God'll cut you down 

Sooner or later God'll cut you down 

Go tell that long tongue liar 

Go and tell that midnight rider 

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter 

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down 

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down 

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
