Jim Lauderdale

Rome wasn't buildt in just one day
You better tie those shoes
How do you expect to find your way
Til daylight's breaking loose
Good things come to those who wait
I won't be hard to find
If you stop through and hesitate
Hope that you're still kind
Get moving you're proving
Things to us all you're teaching
We're reaching out before we fall
I want to run like you
Right beside whats true
I want to run like you
No telling what we'd find
What am I going to do
While you're away
Praying for God speed
Wish that I could make you stay
But that's not what you need
You're ready you're headed
Straight through tomorrow
Don't forget as you set
The world on fire
Oh I want to run like you
Heaven passing thru
I want to run like you
No telling what we'll find
SOLO
You're ready you're headed
Straight through tomorrow
Don't forget as you set
The world on fire
Oh I want to run like you
Right beside what true
I want to run like you
No telling what we'll find
I want to run like you
Go ahead and I'll catch up
There's no telling what we'll find
