Intro:         


                       
I got shot off my horse
              
So what? I'm up again
And playing in one of these
                   
Big saloons on main
         
You can come up here
 
Take a look
                          
Around these sinners' dens
                                
You're only ever going to find
                
One or two real games
         
Nobody's driving
              
Me underground
               
Not yet anyway


                       
But either on the strip 
          
Or on the edge of town
Everybody pays 
                   
Everybody pays to play
  
  


 
Yeah, you ought to stay
       
Right where you are
    
In sawdust land
It's probably the
                  
Safest place to be
                       
With your greasy little pork pies
                         
And your shoestring hands 
                         
It makes no difference to me
            
All those directions
                  
Which we never took
                       
To go our different ways
                           
Who went and wrote
               
The oldest story in the book?
Everybody pays
                   
Everybody pays to play
  
  


        /    
            



Curl up inside
  
A boxcar dream
    
And disappear
With a couple


                 
Low roller friends
         
You were never one
    
For trouble
                 
So get out of here
  
I knew the game
                   
Was dangerous back then
            
But nobody's breezing
              
Through these swinging doors
                  
Just ups and walks away
                
Everybody has to leave
                
Some blood here on the floor
Everybody pays 
                       
Everybody pays to play
 
Everybody pays
