Emmylou Harris - The Price You Pay Lyrics
(bruce springsteen)You make up your mind, you choose the chance you takeYou ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaksOut on through an open road you ride until the dayYou learn to sleep at night with the price you payNow with their hands held high, they reached out for the open skiesAnd then with their last breathThey built the roads they would ride to their deathsDriving on through the night unable to break away>from the restless pull of the price you payOh, the price you pay, oh, the price you payNow you cant walk away from the price you payNow theyve come so far and theyve waited so longJust to end up caught in a dream where everything goes wrongWhere the dark of night holds back the light of the dayAnd you gotta stand and fight for the price you payOh, the price you pay, oh, the price you payNow you cant walk away from the price you payLittle girl down on the strandWith that pretty little baby in your handsDo you remember the story of the promised landHow he crossed the desert sandsAnd could not enter the chosen landOn the banks of the river he stayedTo face the price you paySo let the games startYou better run you little wild heartYou can run through all the nights and all the daysBut just across the county lineA stranger passin through put up a signThat counts so many fallen awayTo the price you pay,Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you payNow you cant walk away from the price you payOh, the price you pay, oh, the price you payNow you cant walk away from the price you pay
