Payin' Hard

Heaven knows I've had me one hell of a time

But like the night gives way to the morning light

There's a pounding in my head again

I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't tired

And I can't help but think of Janie and those pretty eyes

Yeah she was sweet as berries on a summer vine

She had a heart of gold, we were burning coals

Hotter than a sidewalk in July

At the expense of my heart, Lord I've cashed in my soul

Chose this old guitar before the only love I've known

I gotta live with that, lose sleep with that

When I close my eyes, I'll die with that, yeah

My life's a credit card

Play now, pay later and I'm payin' hard

Well I've heard it said that moments come and then they pass

And it sure passed me by when I should've saw my dad

But I plugged it in to another town

Swore another chance would come around again

Yeah I plugged it in to another town

Swore another chance would come around again

And now it's gone that kinda gone that don't come back

I only see him now in dreams that I have

I gotta live with that, lose sleep with that

When I close my eyes, I'll die with that, yeah

My life's a credit card

Play now, pay later and I'm payin' hard

So long my friends, I guess this is my farewell

Damn all these pennies swimming in my wishing well

Told every single story that I had to tell

I'll live with that, sleep with that

Make my peace and I'll die with that, yeah

My life's a credit card

Play now, pay later and I'm payin' hard

And I'll live with that , sleep with that

Make my peace, and I'll die with that, yeah

I'll live with that, sleep with that

And make my peace, and I'll die with that, yeah
