Song Lyrics
Go tell that long tongue liar, tell em that god s gonna cut em down
Tell the rambler, go and tell that midnight rider, go and tell that midnight rider
Tell em that god s gonna cut em down, run on for a long time
Run on for a long time, i thought i heard the shuffle of the angel s feet
Go tell that long tongue liar, my head s been wet with the midnight dew
Sooner or later god ll cut you down, but as sure as god made black and white
when he said
Tell em that god s gonna cut em down, sooner or later god ll cut you down Cut, go and tell that midnight rider
You can run on for a long time, tell the rambler, tell em that god s gonna cut em down
What s down in the dark will be brought to the light, you can run on for a long time Down, well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Go tell that long tongue liar, what s down in the dark will be brought to the light
my head s been wet with the midnight dew
The backbiter, sooner or later god ll cut you down
I thought i heard the shuffle of the angel s feet, tell em that god s gonna cut you down, the backbiter
What s down in the dark will be brought to the light, tell the rambler
the backbiter
he called my name and my heart stood still
sooner or later god ll cut you down
Tell em that god s gonna cut em down, tell em that god s gonna cut you down
you can run on for a long time
my head s been wet with the midnight dew
Run on for a long time, sooner or later god ll cut you down Gonna, when he said
Workin in the dark against your fellow man, you can run on for a long time
My head s been wet with the midnight dew, tell the rambler Cash, what s down in the dark will be brought to the light
tell em that god s gonna cut em down
tell em that god s gonna cut em down
"Well you may throw your rock & hide your hand, working in the dark against your fellow man, but sure as God made black & white, what was done in the dark will be brought to the light"
Powerful lyrics that give hope of final retribution.
Likely MSG: Get right with God. For man's idols of money, power & fame are ephemeral & useless. God may let you idle in unrepented sin for a bit, but in the end, you & your deeds will be judged by Him
