God's Gonna Cut You Down Lyrics - The Gaslight Anthem

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 and tell that long tongued liar 

Go and tell that midnight rider 

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter 

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

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 a voice so sweet 

I thought I heard the shuffle of the angels' feet 

He called my name and my heart stood still 

When he said "John, go do my will" 

Go and tell that long tongued liar 

Go and tell that midnight rider 

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter 

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 

You can throw your rock, hide your hand 

Work in the dark against your fellow man 

But as sure as God made black and white 

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