Pay The Man Lyrics - The Blue Dogs

you gonna find, some old day 

for the things you got, you gonna have to pay 

you got to pay the man before you go 

you got to pay the man before you walk through the door 

spend all your time tryin' to fill your shelf 

better watch out before you get ahead of yourself 

you go to pay the man before you come back for more 

you got to pay the man before you walk through the door 

waste your better days just workin' on rome 

but your big old house it just ain't no home 

you got to pay the man before you build another floor 

you got to pay the man before you walk through the door 

when you reach that judgment day 

you'll find out just how much you did not pay 

some old day you just might find 

your trouble left you at the back of the line 

you got to pay the man and that's for sure 

you got to pay the man before you walk out the door 

when old st. peter calls your name 

the things you've done leave only you to blame 

you've got to pay the man before you go 

you got to pay the man before you walk through the door
