Kristofferson Kris - Devil To Pay Lyrics

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
