Hell To Pay - Boz Scaggs/Bonnie Raitt

Well I got a Senator over in Texas

Got me a judge down in New Orleans

Bought me a Senator over in Texas

And a judge down in New Orleans

Sometimes I call the world my oyster

Sweetest little deal you've ever seen

Well the one kid's high on God knows what and

The other one smashed the Benz

Between the bank boys and the lawyers

I don't know where it ends

Sometimes I got to wonder about

Living high in the hog

There's times I wish I'd married me

A woman instead of buying this fierce old dog

Can't Say the old man didn't warn me

When he's bringin' me judgment day

And one little thing I forgot to

Remember there's a matter of some hell to pay

And then here comes shifty and his new 150 he

Wants to take me for a ride

Saying hey little mamma how 'bout a little drama

Why don't you just hop in inside

Said I might look like a yokel

But I'm high tech mogul with a tiger in my tank

I said oh my goodness you're a real smooth

Talker I believe i'll take that drink

But first thing buddy better cool your jets

Before you make your play

You gotta feed the kitty and oh yes

Well there's a matter of some hell to pay

Well now you got your devil in the details

Got your devil in the cake

You can't look around most anywhere

That the devil ain't on the take

He's waiting on down at the end of the isle

He's a waiting at the pearly gates

I'd say the man's about everywhere

Ubiquitous some might say

Truth is he's worn out all us fools

Ain't no one left to play

He's bored he's mad he's all shook up

And there's gonna be hell to pay

Well we've dirtied up the waters

We pretty much trashed the earth

The butcher and the baker and everybody else

Has taken it for all its worth

Sayin' 'me oh my it was a big old pie

And I sure as hell filled my cup

That Senator's a comin' on a big white horse

And the judge is gonna fix me up

But if ya complicate this moment

It's time to fight and pray

'Cause now it's time for the money shot baby

Time's up and there's hell to pay

There's hell to pay
