Lyrics Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash

The Devil To Pay

1. Go on, girl, take your chances

See how long you can go on from man to man

B7 Em

I can read the lines between your stolen glances

And I know it's time to fold this losing 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 still got the devil to pay

R: You've been flying so high you don't know that you're blind to the

writing- on the wall

But someday you'll look down & 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.

2. Join your friends, while you got 'em

'Cause you know you're getting 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 go lookin' around

For the pieces of the love you threw away

That's the price of the high life you're livin'

And you've still got the devil to pay.

R: You've been flying so high you don't know...
