The Price You Pay lyrics
Song information
Artist: Molly Hatchet Album: The Deed Is Done
Lyrics
There's a small jail in georgia you all know Where the sun's so hot and the daylight don't show Where the moccasin she rests on a soft bed of sand You can hear the hound dog howling out the land
Chorus: It ain't the way I wanted it But lord that's the price you pay
I said jailer bring me water for my throat is dry Four walls, steel bars, I've been watching passersby I've been sitting here so long I'm starting to cry The hangman's coming, I'm surely going to die
Chorus: It ain't the way I wanted it But lord that's the price you pay Oh, honk on it, boy A little jail cell blues here
Lead break
I shot a man in macon over a poker game I killed another in atlanta just to build my fame Well, now I hear the hammers they're pounding out my name
It ain't the way I wanted it But that's the price you pay It ain't the way I wanted it But lord that's the price you pay
Hey jailer, how about that water my throat's still dry Four walls, steel bars, I've been watching passersby I've been sitting here so damn long I'm starting to cry The hangman's coming I'm surely going to die
It ain't the way I wanted it But lord that's the price you pay (Repeat) It ain't the way I wanted it But lord that's the price you pay Oh, you done out of rope son
