The Devil to Pay — текст песни (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 its time to fold this losing hand

cause youre drawn to the flame

By the thrill and the shame

Of the cheating game they taught you how to play

But theres a price to that high lie youre living

And youve still got the devil to pay



Join your friends, while you got em

cause you know youre getting older every day

You cant wait to let em take you to the bottom

And Im getting tired of standing in your way

But when you hit the ground

Dont go lookin around

For the pieces of the love you threw away

Thats just a part of the high cost of leaving

And youve still got the devil to pay.



Youve been flying so high for so long that you lied

To yourself now, most of all

Baby, all that you needed from me was the freedom to fall.



When your bright lights are gone

Youll be standing alone

And forsaken in the naked light of day

And youll know that its all over but the dying

And youve still got the devil to pay.
