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

Let's 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 and don't look back

I knew this one girl

Blue eyes and blonde curls

I took her home with me just a 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 settled

Since you don't know how to act

Run your mouth and don't look back

You say some firm words, make sure you're damn heard

And that it cuts them deep and leaves them feeling low

And if you live like this, make sure that you don't miss

Your opportunity when you've gotta go

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 and don't look back
