Run Your Mouth

Don't wear your hat low, don't keep your eyes closed
'Cause there's some trouble right where you're at
I've made some mistakes, so take it from me
You better move on right down the track

Just keep a lead foot heavy on the pedal
Don't let 'em catch you settled
Since you don't know how to act
Run your mouth, don't look back

I knew this one girl
Blue eyes and blonde curls
I took her home with me just the week before
I knew she had a man but no I didn't plan
To have my face pressed against a .44
But then it went click and then I thought quick
To grab my drink and run right out that bar back door

Just keep a lead foot heavy on the pedal
Don't let 'em catch you settle
Since you don't know how to act
Run your mouth and don't look back

Just say some firm words, make sure you're damn heard
And that it cuts 'em deep and leaves 'em feelin' low
And if you live like this, make sure that you don't miss
Your opportunity when you gotta go

Just keep a lead foot heavy on the pedal
Don't let 'em get you settled
Since you don't know how to act
Run your mouth, don't look back
