PAYBACK ROAD

I SAW YOU ON THE STREET, I CALLED BUT YOU KEPT WALKING,
AWAY FROM ME
I DON'T BLAME YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, I'D DO THE SAME IF I WERE YOU,
I'D JUST BREAK FREE

IT'S HARD BUT IT'S OK, I'LL WALK THIS DESERT FOR 40 DAYS,
I WON'T LOOK BACK
CAUSE EVERYBODY'S GOT TO DO THEIR TIME, IT SEPARATES THE SURVIVORS FROM THE CHEAP TALK KIND, AND THE SCARS THEY SHOW THROUGH
THE SCARS, THEY SHOW THROUGH

CHORUS
DID YOU DO YOUR TIME IN THE DESERT SON,
OR DID YOU RUN AWAY TO THE CITY OF GOLD
DID YOU FALL WHEN THE CROSS GOT TOO HEAVY SON,
WELL PICK IT UP AND WALK, A LITTLE, FURTHER DOWN PAYBACK ROAD

I TRIED TO TALK TO YOU, I MUST HAVE SAID SOMETHING WRONG,
YOU WALKED AWAY
DON'T YOU EVEN RECOGNIZE MY SOUL, IT'S THE LOST ONE FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, BUT I'LL GET IT BACK SOMEDAY

THE ONES WHO'VE BEEN THERE WELL THEY UNDERSTAND, THERE'S NO EASY WAY OUT OF THE DESERT LAND, YOU'VE GOT TO GO THE DISTANCE
YOUR MIND MIGHT TELL YOU ONE THING BUT YOUR HEART IT KNOWS, WHEN YOU'VE DONE YOUR TIME, YOU CAN PUT DOWN THAT LOAD,
AND GET YOURSELF OFF, PAY BACK ROAD
GET YOURSELF OFF, PAYBACK ROAD

CHORUS
