Van Morrison - Pay the Devil lyrics
[Van Morrison - Pay the Devil lyrics]
One man's gain can be another man's loss
I'm travelling down the lonely highway
'Cos a rolling stone don't gather no moss
Once I thought I could live the
Kind of life I wanted
But the wayward wind made me restless
And a fool of me
'Cos I thought I could settle for
The nine to five life
Well I guess it just was never meant to be
Now people talk and they speculate about
What other people would do
But they can't put themselves within my shoes
It used to be my life
Now it's become my story
I'm heading down this highway
With those blues well I'd love to see the
Sun setting on the riverside
Just to go back home and
I want to settle down
Well I have to pay the devil for my music
Why I have to keep on
With this roaming around
Have to pay the devil for my music
Keep on rolling from town to town
Have to pay the devil for to play my music
