You don't have to worry bout a thing if the end of the world is coming.

Just sit back and take it easy 'cause there ain't no use in runnin'.

This simple little pamphlet gives you prophets to believe in.

And if I had the answers I would still believe I'd still be leavin'.



Hit the ground runnin'.

Better run before they run you down

Get ready it's comin'

Then another doomsday is done

Another doomsday is done

And I'm hoping that you won't be disappointed if the end of the world

Don't come.



On the banks of the Mississippi

With your radio antenna crack pipe

If I were you and you were me

Do you think you could work this out right?

It's a simple proposition just to get past this suspicion

And if I had my wishes I would wade in the wake of the well where you're

Wishing.



Hit the ground runnin'.

And run before they run you down

Get ready it's comin'

Then another doomsday is done

Another doomsday is done

And I'm hoping that you won't be disappointed if the end of the world

Don't come.



So have a drink and a smoke for me when you get to where you're going

I'll be just here shootin' the breeze just as long as the wicked wind

Keeps blowin'



Hit the ground runnin'.

And run before they run you down

Get ready it's comin'

Then another doomsday is done

Another doomsday is done

And I'm hoping that you won't be disappointed if the end of the world

Don't come.
