The Devil To Pay Lyrics - 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
