The Price I Pay (with Desert Rose Band)

They tell me I’m the talk of the town
I’ve been staying home alone every night
It’s nobody’s business where I’m bound
As if to be alone and lonely just ain’t right
On a old freight train moving down the line
I’m counting each day and every minute you’re away
I’ve never been the stay-at-home kind
But for you, it’s just the price that I pay
It’s just the price I pay for loving you;
The price I pay for needing you so much
The price I pay for leavin' you
And putting all this time between us
I knew I was in trouble when we met
Dark clouds all around me, I couldn’t find the light
These hard times ain’t hard to forget;
Now I believe in love at first sight
I put my heart and soul on the line
I know that love is with me every day
Your picture always there on my mind
But for you it’s just the price that I pay
It’s just the price I pay for loving you;
The price I pay for needing you so much
The price I pay for leavin' you
And putting all this time between us
It’s just the price I pay for loving you;
The price I pay for needing you so much
The price I pay for leavin' you
And putting all this time between us
