Well, I did a little drinkin' with the boys last night Just enough to put me away Yeah, it went down smooth as my head got light I was just buzzin' away When you get a little high everything looks fine But, oh, baby, how it changes over time Oh, now I've got the devil to pay Oh, now I've got the devil to pay And it's no good runnin' 'Cause you can't get away Oh, Lord, I've got the devil to pay Well, I really don't remember how I got this eye I must have gotten carried away When I saw some big dude pickin' on this little guy I said some things you never should say First you get a little buzz Then you speak your mind Oh, baby, draw the shades and blinds Oh, now I've got the devil to pay (The devil to pay) Oh, Lord, I've got the devil to pay (And it's no good runnin') And it's no good runnin' 'Cause you can't get away Oh, Lord, I've got the devil to pay right now Oh, Lord, I've got the devil to pay Oh, Lord, I've got the devil to pay (And it's no good runnin') And it's no good runnin' 'Cause you can't get away Oh, Lord, I've got the devil to pay right now Sometimes I wish that I could just stay put But that's much too easy, no way Open mouth, insert foot Now I've got the devil to pay Well, I'm tired of wakin' up At the scene of the crime Oh, baby, it's the very last time Oh, Lord, I've got the devil to pay Oh, Lord, I've got the devil to pay (And it's no good runnin') And it's no good runnin' 'Cause you can't get away Oh, Lord, I've got the devil to pay right now
