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
