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
three, four, five 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 my 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 my lesson
count your blessings
look to the rising sun
and run, run, run
Run, run, run
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
my lesson
count your blessings
