the price you pay - molly hatchet lyrics
there’s a small jail in georgia you all know,
where the sun’s so hot and the daylight don’t show.
where the moccasin she rests on a soft bed of sand,
you can hear the hound dog howling out the land.
chorus:
it ain’t the way i wanted it.
but lord that’s the price you pay.
i said jailer bring me water for my throat is dry,
four walls, steel bars, i’ve been watching p-ssersby,
i’ve been sitting here so long i’m starting to cry,
the hangman’s coming, i’m surely going to die.
chorus:
it ain’t the way i wanted it.
but lord that’s 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 they’re pounding out my name.
it ain’t the way i wanted it.
but that’s the price you pay.
it ain’t the way i wanted it.
but lord that’s the price you pay.
hey jailer, how about that water my throat’s still dry,
four walls, steel bars, i’ve been watching p-ssersby,
i’ve been sitting here so d-mn long i’m starting to cry,
the hangman’s coming i’m surely going to die.
it ain’t the way i wanted it.
but lord that’s the price you pay,
(repeat),
it ain’t the way i wanted it,
but lord that’s the price you pay.
oh, you done out of rope son.
