Bruce Springsteen - The Price You Pay Lyrics
You make up your mind, you choose the chance you takeYou ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaksOut on to an open road you ride until the dayYou learn to sleep at night with the price you payNow with their hands held high, they reached out for the open skiesAnd in one last breath they built the roads theyd ride to their deathDriving on through the night, unable to break awayFrom the restless pull of the price you pay(chorus)Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you payNow you cant walk away from the price you payNow theyd come so far and theyd waited so longJust to end up caught in a dream where everything goes wrongWhere the dark of night holds back the light of dayAnd youve gotta stand and fight for the price you pay(chorus)Little girl down on the strandWith that pretty little baby in your handsDo you remember the story of the promised landHow he crossed the desert sandsAnd could not enter the chosen landOn the banks of the river he stayedTo face the price you paySo let the games start, you better run you little wild heartYou can run through all the nights and all the daysBut just across the county line, a stranger passing through put up a signThat counts the men fallen away to the price you pay,And girl before the end of the day,Im gonna tear it down and throw it away
