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 traveling through from another life, a different toon Oh, Gambling hands and a scar across my face I knew you were right for me, with another man on the hill, you see, and your governour daddy was so happy But still you pick 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 x2 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 Whoohoo!
