The Devil To Pay

Johnny Cash

1. 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 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...
