When I was a young boy living in the city / All I did was run run run run run / Staring at the lights they look so pretty / Momma said “Son son son son son / You’re gonna grow up, you’re gonna get old / All that glitters don’t turn to gold / But until then just have your fun / Boy, run run run run run”
Yeah, run run run / Run run run
When I was a young kid living in the city / All I did was pay pay pay pay pay / And every single dime that good Lord gave me / I could make it last 3, 4, 5 days / Living it up but living down low / Chasing that luck before I get old / And looking back, oh, we had some fun / Boy run run run run run
They tell you that the sky might fall / They’ll say that you might lose it all / So I run until I hit that wall / Yeah I learned my lesson, count my blessings / Look to the rising sun and run run run
Yeah, one day well the sky might fall / Yeah, one day I could lose it all / So I run until I hit that wall / If I learned one lesson, count your blessings / Look to the rising sun and run run run
Run run run
Didn’t get everything that I wanted / But I got what I need, yeah yeah / I see that light in the morning / Shining down on me / So take me up high, take me down low / Where it all ends nobody knows / But until then let’s have some fun, yeah / Run run run run run
They tell you that the sky might fall / They’ll say that you might lose it all / So I run until I hit that wall / Yeah I learned my lesson, count my blessings / Look to the rising sun and run run run
Yeah, one day well the sky might fall / Yeah, one day I could lose it all / So I run until I hit that wall / If I learned one lesson, count your blessings / Look to the rising sun and run run run
Run run run / Yeah, Run run run
Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings / Look to the rising sun
Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings / Look to the rising sun
Yeah, if I learned one lesson, count your blessings / Look to the rising sun, yeah, run run run
