It was a dirty town where they’d string a man up just to see his frown
C G Am F
Oh, I smiled as the band started to play
C G Am F
I was just traveling through from another life, a different toon
C G Am F
Oh, Gambling hands and a scar across my face
C G Am F
I knew you were right for me, with another man on the hill, you see,
C G Am F
and your governour daddy was so happy
C G Am F
But still you pick me out, you wrapped your hands around my own
C G Am F
And then we danced for the first time that night
C G Am F
Feet don’t fail me, this child might save me
C G Am F
I’m on my knees tonight
C G Am F
Feet don’t fail me, this child might save me
C G Am F
I’m on my knees tonight
C G Am F
Oh, we danced so slow and the crowd, it murmured as your affection showed
C G Am F
and your man said, "Could I cut in?"
C G Am F
You couldn’t keep your eyes off me as I slipped out the backdoor
C G Am F
Oh, followed by three gentlemen up here
C G Am F
Feet don’t fail me, this child might save me
C G Am F
I’m on my knees tonight
C G Am F
Feet don’t fail me, this child might save me
C G Am F
I’m running for my life tonight
C Am
Running, running, running, running, running for my life
C Am
Running, running, running, running, running for my love [x2]
C G Am F
Feet don’t fail me, this child might save me
C G Am F
I’m running for my life tonight
C G Am F
Feet don’t fail me, this child might save me
C G Am F
I’m running for my life tonight
Whoohoo!
