Pay The Man - Blue Dogs

You gonna find, some old day

For the things you got, you gonna have to pay

You got to pay the man before you go

You got to pay the man before you walk through the door

Spend all your time tryin' to fill your shelf

Better watch out before you get ahead of yourself

You go to pay the man before you come back for more

You got to pay the man before you walk through the door

Waste your better days just workin' on Rome

But your big old house it just ain’t no home

You got to pay the man before you build another floor

You got to pay the man before you walk through the door

When you reach that judgment day

You’ll find out just how much you did not pay

Some old day you just might find

Your trouble left you at the back of the line

You got to pay the man and that’s for sure

You got to pay the man before you walk out the door

When old St. Peter calls your name

The things you’ve done leave only you to blame

You’ve got to pay the man before you go

You got to pay the man before you walk through the door
