The Foot Race Is On
Lightnin' Hopkins

What you look at me for? Look out man

What's the matter with you, I fixin' to, whoa

That man gonna jump on me

And I just got to move on out of his way

That's all there is to it but I'm goin'

Tell me, baby, what you tryin' to do?

Tryin' to mistreat me and I ain't done nothin' to you

Mama told me now understand

Just keep-a truckin' like a man

I'm gone, sure gone

I ain't jokin', no time waitin' on

Just keep on goin'

Look it here, baby, what you tryin' to do?

Tryin' to love me and my brother too

Mama told me now understand

Sit and listen with a plate in her hand

I know, gotta go

Gotta go, pretty baby

God knows I ain't lyin'

See, that's when it's gettin' soft

See, I was gettin' a little tired now

And I just slowed down a little bit

Foot race is on though

Look-a yonder what I do see

Whole lotta somethin' comin' after me but, I'm gone

They'll have a hard time catchin' ol' lightnin'

Now that I got a little air

Feel a little better now

Keep on runnin'

You know they run me, edge of town

They got tired and they turned around

I sure felt good, I didn't have to run no more

I ain't jokin', I ain't jivin'

God knows I ain't carryin' on
