when i was a young boy
living in the city
all i did run run run run run
staring at the lights they look so pretty
mama 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 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
hitting it up and living down low
chasing that luck before i get old
looking back oh we had some fun boy
run run run run run
they'll 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
and 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'll tell you that the sky might fall
they'll say that you might lose it all
so i'll run until i hit that wall
yeah i learned my lesson my lesson

and run run run
yeah one day well the sky might fall
yeah one day i could lose it all
