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
~#**************#~
Mama said “Son, son, son, son, son
~#**************#~
Youre gonna grow up, youre gonna get old
~#**************#~
All that glitters dont turn to gold
~#**************#~
But until then just have your fun
~#**************#~
Boy, run, run, run, run, run”
~#**************#~
[Refrain]
~#**************#~
Yeah, run, run, run
~#**************#~
Run, run, run
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
They tell you that the sky might fall
~#**************#~
Theyll 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
~#**************#~
Yеah, one day I could lose it all
~#**************#~
So I run until I hit that wall
~#**************#~
If I learnеd one lesson, count your blessings
~#**************#~
Look to the rising sun and run, run, run
~#**************#~
[Refrain]
~#**************#~
Run, run, run
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
Didnt 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 lets have some fun
~#**************#~
Yeah, run, run, run, run, run
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
They tell you that the sky might fall
~#**************#~
Theyll 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
~#**************#~
[Refrain]
~#**************#~
Run, run, run
~#**************#~
Yeah, run, run, run
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
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
