Paying My Way Lyrics - Didn't He Ramble - Glen Hansard

Well, you can't just get what you want 

Without a little work today 

And you can't just stick out your hand 

No, it doesn't work that way 

Yeah, it's gonna be a long one 

I'll be workin' all night long 

Oh, it's gonna be a long one 

But I'm paying my way 

And there's not much joy in the work 

Unless you're born to do it, they say 

And we gotta get down in the dirt now 

If we wanna see some change 

Oh, it's gonna be a long one 

Yeah, I'll be workin' all night long 

Yeah, it's gonna be a long one 

But I'm paying my way 

And the heart is sliding backward 

On this long dark night of the soul 

And you're the only thing that keeps me going on 

It's gonna be a long one 

I been workin' my fingers to the bone 

Yeah, it's gonna be a long one 

But I'm paying my way 

Paying my way 

Well, there's not much change in the weather 

On this long walk home to you in the rain 

And there's not much left in the purse now 

By the time the bills are paid 

Oh, it's gonna be a long one 

Can't wait for that weekend to roll along 

Yeah, it's gonna be a long one 

But I'm paying my way 

Oh, it's gonna be a long one 

Wanna take you out dancin' all night long 

Oh, it's gonna be a long one 

But I'm paying my way 

Paying my way 

I work for fair pay 

Yeah, I'm paying my way
