The Ransom

I'll pay the rent

You pay the ransom if you can

By accident

We're down

We're down to our last cent

The money ain't coming in like i hoped

And all this smoke

Is like a hammer in my throat

It's only rock and roll

With a sold out show

Darlin' please

Can we go home

Quiet down in front

Gotta get through this before i burn out

Hey mister don't you run this town

I can't hold my tongue

So bring the curtain down

The money ain't coming in like i hoped

Motor court hotels

Are gonna confiscate my soul

It's gonna hurt like hell

When the story's too sad to be told

Darlin' please

Can we go home

The money ain't coming in like i hoped

We're a day too late

About a dollar too short

I'm run down drained

Can't give it no more

Darlin' please

Can we go home
