Lyrics Hell to Pay - Charles Esten

Hell to Pay

You heard the whisper
In your ear
«I got all you ever wanted, got it right here
You been working too hard
I can feel your pain
It’s been a long dry spill, I can make it rain»
And that voice drowned out your conscious
So you made a real, clean brain
From many reservations, now you do whatever it takes
I stick to the straight, and narrow
And there’s an easy way
When you find out when there’s hell to pay
Dirty money
Spends just fine
You can wash the bad taste out your mouth with the fine red wine
Collateral damage
Well, it can’t be held
You can’t save the world, so you save yourself
And that voice drowned out your conscious
So you made a real, clean brain
From many reservations, now you do whatever it takes
There’s a stranger in your mirror
That you just turned away
'Cause the stranger knows there’ll be hell to pay
You gain the world
It only cost your soul
Now the deals are done, so let the good times roll
'Til the clouds roll in
And the sky turns grey
And the voice returns to say «there's hell to pay»
Heaven help you out when there’s hell to pay
