Johnny Cash - Devil to Pay lyrics
[Johnny Cash - Devil to Pay lyrics]
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 loosing hand
Cause you're drawn to the flame by
The thrill and the shame
Of the cheating game they taught
You how to play you've got nothing to lose
But your soul girl
And you've only the devil to pay
You've been flying so high you don't know
That you're blind to the writing on the wall
But some day you'll look down
And you'll find you've got no place to fall
When the bright lights are gone
You'll be standing alone
Forsaken in the naked light of day
Then you'll know that it's all
Over but the dying
And you've still got the devil to pay
Join your friends while you got them
Cause you know they're gettin'
Fewer every day you can't wait to let them
Take you to the bottom
And I'm getting tired of
Standing in your way
But when you hit the ground
Don't come looking around
For the pieces of the love you threw away
That's the price of the
High life you're living
And you still got the devil to pay
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 loosing hand
Cause you're drawn to the flame by
The thrill and the shame
Of the cheating game they taught
You how to play you've got nothing to lose
But your soul girl
And you've only the devil to pay
You've been flying so high you don't know
That you're blind to the writing on the wall
But some day you'll look down
And you'll find you've got no place to fall
When the bright lights are gone
You'll be standing alone
Forsaken in the naked light of day
Then you'll know that it's all
Over but the dying
And you've still got the devil to pay
Join your friends while you got them
Cause you know they're gettin'
Fewer every day you can't wait to let them
Take you to the bottom
And I'm getting tired of
Standing in your way
But when you hit the ground
Don't come looking around
For the pieces of the love you threw away
That's the price of the
High life you're living
And you still got the devil to pay
