devil to pay

Kris Kristofferson

Go on girl take your chances see how long you can go on from man to man
I can read the lines between your stolen glances
And I know it s time to fold this loosin hand
Cause you re drawn to the flame by the thrill and the shame
Of the cheatin game they taught you how to play
That s the price of the high life you re livin and you still got the devil to pay

Join your friends while you got em cause you know you re gettin older every day
You can t wait to let them take you to the bottom
And I m gettin tired of standin in your way
But when you hit the ground don t come lookin around
For the pieces of the love you threw away
That s just part of the high cost you re leavin and you still got the devil to pay

Now you ve been flyin so high for so long and you lie to yourself now most of all
Baby all that you needed from me was the freedom to fall
When the bright lights are gone you ll be standin alone
Forsaken in the naked light of day
Then you ll know that it s all over but the dying and you still got the devil to pay
