Sam (Lightnin') Hopkins - The Foot Race Is On lyrics

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
