[Verse]
GC
You make up your mind, you choose the chance you take
GD
You ride to where the highway ends, and the desert breaks
GC
Out on to an open road, you ride until the day
GDC
You learn to sleep at night, with the price you pay
GC
Now with their hands held high, they reached out for the open skies
GD
And in one last breath they built the roads they'd ride to their death
GC
Driving on through the night, unable to break away
GDC
From the restless pull, of the price you pay
[Chorus]
GC
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
GDC
Now you can't walk away, from the price you pay
[Verse]
GC
Now they'd come so far, and they'd waited so long
GD
Just to end up caught in a dream, where everything goes wrong
GC
Where the dark of night, holds back the light of the day
GDC
And you've gotta stand and fight, for the price you pay
[Chorus]
GC
Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
GDC
Now you can't walk away, from the price you pay

[Verse]
GC
Little girl down on the strand, with that pretty little baby in your hands
GD
Do you remember, the story of the promised land
GC
How he crossed the desert sands, and could not enter the chosen land
GDC
On the banks of the river he stayed, to face the price you pay
GC
So let the game start, you better run you little wild heart
GD
You can run through all the nights, and all the days
GC
But just across the county line, a stranger passing through put up a sign
GDEmC
That counts the men fallen away, to the price you pa-ay,
GDC
And girl before the end of the day, I'm gonna tear it down and throw it away
