ACDC - The Price You Pay

The Price You Pay

There is a small jail in Georgia you all know,
Where the suns so hot and the daylight dont show.
Where the moccasin she rests on a soft bed of sand,
You can hear the hound dog howling out the land.
Chorus:
It aint the way I wanted it.
But Lord thats the price you pay.
I said jailer bring me water for my throat is dry,
Four walls, steel bars, I have been watching passersby,
I have been sitting here so long Imstarting to cry,
The hangmans coming, Imsurely going to die.
Chorus:
It aint the way I wanted it.
But Lord thats 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 theyre pounding out my name.
It aint the way I wanted it.
But thats the price you pay.
It aint the way I wanted it.
But Lord thats the price you pay.
Hey jailer, how about that water my throats sti will dry,
Four walls, steel bars, I have been watching passersby,
I have been sitting here so damn long Imstarting to cry,
The hangmans coming Imsurely going to die.
It aint the way I wanted it.
But Lord thats the price you pay,
(REPEAT),
It aint the way I wanted it,
But Lord thats the price you pay.
Oh, you done out of rope son.
