Hell To Pay Lyrics - Fool To Care - Boz Scaggs

Well I got a Senator over in Texas. 

Got me a judge down in New Orleans. 

Bought me a Senator over in Texas 

and a judge down in New Orleans. 

Sometimes I call the world my oyster 

sweetest little deal you've ever seen. 

Well the one kid's high on God knows what and 

the other one smashed the Benz. 

Between the bank boys and the lawyers 

I don't know where it ends. 

Sometimes I got to wonder about 

living high in the hog. 

There's times I wish I'd married me 

a woman instead of buying this fierce old dog. 

Can't Say the old man didn't warn me 

when he's bringin' me judgment day 

And one little thing I forgot to 

remember, there's a matter of some hell to pay

And then here comes shifty and his new 150 he 

wants to take me for a ride. 

Saying hey little mamma how 'bout a little drama. 

Why don't you just hop in inside? 

Said I might look like a yokel 

but I'm high tech mogul with a tiger in my tank 

I said oh my goodness you're a real smooth 

talker I believe I'll take that drink. 

But first thing buddy better cool your jets 

before you make your play 

You gotta feed the kitty and oh yes 

well there's a matter of some hell to pay.

Well now you got your devil in the details. 

Got your devil in the cake 

You can't look around most anywhere 

that the devil ain't on the take 

He's waiting on down at the end of the isle 

he's a waiting at the pearly gates. 

I'd say the man's about everywhere 

ubiquitous some might say 

Truth is he's worn out all us fools 

ain't no one left to play 

He's bored, he's mad, he's all sup 

and there's gonna be hell to pay. 

Well we've dirtied up the waters 

we pretty much trashed the earth 

The butcher and the baker and everybody else 

has taken it for all its worth. 

Sayin "me oh my it was a big old pie 

and I sure as hell filled my cup" 

That Senator's a comin on a big white horse 

and the judge is gonna fix me up 

but if ya complicate this moment 

it's time to fight and pray 

Cause now it's time for the money shot baby 

times up and there's hell to pay
