Feet Don't Fail Me

It was a dirty town where they'd string a man up just to see his frown
Oh, I smiled as the band started to play
I was just trav'ling through from another life, a different tune
No Gambling hands and a scar across my face

I knew you weren't right for me, you had another man on the hill, you see
And your governour daddy was so happy
But still you picked me out, you wrapped your hands around my own
And then we danced for the first time that night

Feet don't fail me, this child might save me
I'm on my knees tonight
Feet don't fail me, this child might save me
I'm on my knees tonight

Oh, we danced so slow and the crowd, it murmured as your affection showed
And your man said: "Could I cut in?"
You couldn't keep your eyes off me as I slipped out the backdoor
Oh, followed by three gentlemen, up here

Feet don't fail me, this child might save me
I'm on my knees tonight
Feet don't fail me, this child might save me
I'm running for my life tonight

Running, running, running, running, running for my life
Running, running, running, running, running for my love
Running, running, running, running, running for my life
Running, running, running, running, running for my love

Feet don't fail me, this child might save me
I'm running for my life tonight
Feet don't fail me, this child might save me
I'm running for my life tonight
