Time To Pay

There’s gold there in them hills Said the Devil to the preacher And you can help yourselves to all you’ve found It’s all the same to me And you can have your damned ole city man Self-righteous fools out in the street And the gold you found is all around But you just pave the road beneath your feet Chorus: There comes a time To be brave Your soul is mine Now it’s time to pay And I can tell you think you know my friend Just how you’ll handle me Well son Judas thought he was slick too So don’t fool yourself there priest Well if it’s gold or power or flesh you crave Then feast them eyes on me I’ve got enough to go around my child So just sit back in that seat Chorus Well it comes and goes, it ebbs and flows And it gets on you and me It makes a funny sound, but it’s all they’ve found And it’s in the dirt beneath your feet But if it’s love you crave just take it to his grave With the other fools that just don’t see I’ll find another soul who’ll trade his for gold So don’t try that shit on me Chorus
