Make 'Em Pay (Don't Make it Easy)

The first time that I saw her

I was thumbing for a ride

I was down to my last dollar

down to my last lie

She had a 98 Ford Focus

She had a jones no pill could fix

She left her baby back in Richmond

She was looking for some kicks

She said don't make it easy, it's gotta hurt

I'll lose my mind and you'll lose your shirt

We'll make it halfway round the world in a single day

We're gonna make em pay

We didn't mean to hurt nobody

that was never in the plan

but some rent a cop in Cumberland

thought he'd take a stand

Now we're cutting all the corners

and we're hugging all the curves

Touching 90 on the straightaways

steering through the swerves

She said don't make it easy, it's gotta hurt

I'll lose my mind and you'll lose your shirt

We both know it's our last chance to get away

We're gonna make em pay

At a Motel 6 in Hancock

yeah, you've seen this film before

they came in through the windows

and pinned us to the floor

We got our names in all the papers

got our mug shots on TV

when you turn your mind to freedom

I bet you think of her and me

Now the last time that I saw her

was in the Fredrick County Jail

They were dosing up my cornflakes

they were censoring my mail

She brought me a carton of Camels

but she wouldn't look me in the eye

If that's all you've got to offer then I guess this is goodbye

Yeah it sure wasn't easy, we made it hurt

You lost your sparkle, I lost your skirt

But we both know it couldn't have ended any other way

Don't make it easy, they want your soul

They want to put you back in your hole

So when they knock knock knock gotta kick kick kick em away

Don't make it easy

Don't make it easy

Don't make it easy

You gotta make em pay
