You'll Pay

A ring of gold in your pocket and time on your hands
What no one knows can't hurt them, you're covered at both ends
You've been a cheatin' and a lying, you've covered all your tracks
When you least expect it, you're gonna get paid back

You'll pay, you'll pay
You can't go on living this way
You might roam for a while but you'll meet a bitter end
You'll pay, you'll pay

On the fortune that we build slowly faded away
You wicked hearted woman, you'll drive me to my grave
And you've made your great escape in the middle of the night,
Blowin' smoke and burnin' rubber, all the way out of sight

You'll pay, you'll pay
You can't go on living this way
You might roam for a while but you'll meet a bitter end
You'll pay, you'll pay

Her life tells the story of a fatal rainy day
A foggy windy morning, put a tree in the way
Thirty miles north of the Mississippi line
Just metal and the ashes, of a woman, left behind

You'll pay, you'll pay
You can't go on living this way
You might roam for a while but you'll meet a bitter end
You'll pay, you'll pay
