Hell To Pay

A
Well, I got a Senator over in Texas,
 got me a judge down in New Orleans.
            D                    
Bought me a Senator over in Texas 
                           A
and a judge down in New Orleans ummm
 hummmm
E                           
Sometimes I call the world my 
oyster, sweetest little deal you’ve 
       A
ever seen.


[Verse]
A
Well, the one kid’s high on God 
knows what and the other one smashed
 the Benz.
A
Between the bank boys and the 
lawyers I don’t know where it ends.
D
Sometimes I got to wonder about 
living high on the hog.
A
There’s times I wish I’d married me 
a woman instead of buying this here 
show dog.
E
Can’t say the old man didn’t warn me
 when he’s bringin’ me judgment day
A
And one little thing I forgot to 
remember, there’s a matter of some 
hell to pay

[Verse]
A
And then here comes shifty and his 
new 150, wants to take me for a 
ride.
A
Saying hey little mamma, how ‘bout a
 little drama. Why don’t you just 
hop in inside?
D
Said I might look like a yokel but 
I’m high tech mogul with a tiger in 
my tank
A
I said oh my goodness, you’re a real
 smooth talker, I believe I’ll take 
that drink.
E
But first thing buddy, better cool 
your jets before you make your play
A
You gotta feed the kitty and oh yes,
 well there’s a matter of some hell 
to pay.


[Verse]
A
Well, now you got your devil in the 
details. Got your devil in the cake
A
You can’t look around most anywhere 
that the devil ain’t on the take
D
He’s waiting on down at the end of 
the aisle, he’s a waiting at the 
pearly gates.
A
I’d say the man’s about everywhere, 
ubiquitous some might say
E
Truth is he’s worn out all us fools,
 ain’t no one left to play
A
He’s bored, he’s mad, he’s all shook
 up and there’s gonna be hell to 
pay.


[Verse]
A
We’ve dirtied up the waters and 
pretty much trashed the earth
A
The butcher and the baker and 
everybody else has taken it for all 
it’s worth.
D
Sayin “me oh my, it was a big old 
pie and I sure as hell filled my 
cup”
A
That Senator’s a comin’ on a big 
white horse and the judge is gonna 
fix me up
E
but if ya complicate this moment 
it’s time to fight and pray
A
Cause now it’s time for the money 
shot baby, time’s up and there’s 
hell to pay
