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
