Run On

Elvis Presley

Transposer:

(Hum) well you may run on for a long time Run on for a long for a long time Run on for a long time Let me tell you God almighty's gonna cut you down Go tell that long tongued liar (oh well well) Go tell that midnight rider (oh well well) Tell the gambler the rambler the back-biter Tell them God almighty's gonna cut 'm down Stop God almighty let me tell you the news My head's been wet with the midnight dews I been down on my bended knees Talking to the man from Galilee My God spoke and he spoke so sweet I thought I heard the shuffle of angels feet He put one hand upon my head N.C. Great God almighty let me tell you what he said Go tell that long tongued liar (oh well well) Go tell that midnight rider (oh well well) Tell the gambler the rambler the back-biter Tell them God almighty's gonna cut 'm down You may run on for a long time Run on for a long for a long time Run on for a long time Let me tell you God almighty's gonna cut you down You may throw your rock and hide your hand Working in the dark against your fellow man As sure as God made the day and the night What you do in the dark will be brought to the light You may run and hide slip and slide Trying to take the mote from your neighbor's eye As sure as God made the rich and poor You going to reap just what you sow You may run on for a long time Run on for a long for a long time Run on for a long time Let me tell you God almighty's gonna cut you down Go tell that long tongued liar (oh well well) Go tell that midnight rider (oh well well) Tell the gambler the rambler the back-biter Tell them God almighty's gonna cut 'm down Some people go to church just to sit in the fire Trying to make a day with the neighbor's wife Brother let me tell you as sure as you're born You better leave that woman alone Because one of these days mark my word You think that brother is going to work You'll sneak up and knock on that door That's all brother you'll knock no more Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Let me tell you God almighty's gonna cut you down Go tell that long tongued liar Go tell that midnight rider Tell the gambler the rambler the back-biter Tell them God almighty's gonna cut 'm down

La chanson évoque le thème de la justice divine et des conséquences inévitables de nos actions. Elle met en garde ceux qui cherchent à tromper ou à nuire aux autres, en soulignant que leurs actes sombres ne resteront pas cachés et seront finalement dévoilés. À travers des images puissantes, elle rappelle que personne ne peut échapper à la vérité et que Dieu, dans sa bonté et sa justice, finira par rétablir l'équilibre. Le contexte de cette œuvre est ancré dans une tradition musicale qui s'inspire de la spiritualité et des luttes morales de la vie quotidienne. Elle puise également dans des références bibliques, notamment le dialogue avec le « homme de Galilée », symbolisant la foi et la communication avec Dieu. C’est un appel à la réflexion sur nos actions et leur impact sur notre vie et celle des autres.
