lyrics

THE PRICE YOU PAY

Don’t look at that strange woman in the bright light
Cause you might change your mind
Decide to go back home tonight
You can feed your desires in the darkness
It won’t change your past
Won’t change what you’ve become
And it won’t ever last.

And it’s shame that you’re feeling
In the morning when you wake
It’s the life you have taken
It’s the price you have to pay

You shot a man down over greed
Cause you wanted all he had
Not cause of some need
Well he spoke as he lay dying on the ground
He just whispered why I’d had given you all I had,
Why do I have to die?

And it’s shame that you’re feeling
In the morning when you wake
It’s the life you have taken
It’s the price you have to pay.

Each day you wake you’re a little more insane.
Hating what you’ve done, you wanna make it go away.
Well, the simple answer lies in you
Only one thing left to do
Put on your Sunday best and put that pain to rest

No more shame are you feeling
No more will you wake
It’s the life you have taken
It’s the price you have to pay
It’s the price you have to pay
It’s the price you have to pay

about

The Highballers Washington D.C., D.C.

"Songs about hard-drinking, crime, sex, heartache and the seamier side of life comprise the core of The Highballers’ music. The band’s sweet savory harmonies meld flawlessly with the twang of Fender telecasters. The Highballers’ brand of country can’t be pigeon-holed into one type of sound; their music is rough and tumble and at the same time can be evocative and haunting."
