Letra da Música Hell to Pay de Boz Scaggs

Well I got a Senator over in Texas
Got me a judge down in New Orleans
Bought me a Senator over in Texas
And a judge down in New Orleans
Sometimes I call the Gulf my oyster
Sweetest little deal you've ever seen

Well the one kid's high on God knows what
And the other one smashed the Benz
Between the bank boys and the lawyers
I don't know where it ends
Sometimes I've got to wonder about living high in the hog
There's times I wish I'd married me a woman
'Stead of buying this fierce show dog
Can't say the old man didn't warn me
When he 'xplained me judgment day
And the one little thing I forgot to remember
There's a matter of some hell to pay

And then here comes Shifty and his new 150
He wants to take me for a ride
Saying hey little mamma how 'bout a little drama
Why don't you just hop in inside?
Said I might look like a yokel but I'm high tech mogul
With a tiger in my tank
I said oh my goodness you're a real smooth talker
I believe I'll take that drink
But first thing buddy better cool your jets
Before you make your play
You gotta feed the kitty and oh yes well
There's a matter of some hell to pay

Verse 4: Boz Scaggs & Bonnie Raitt]
Well now you got your devil in the details
Got your devil in the cake
You can't look around most anywhere
That the devil ain't on the take
He's waiting on down at the end of the aisle
He's a waiting at the pearly gates
I'd say the man's about everywhere
Ubiquitous some might say
Truth is he's worn out all us fools
And ain't no one left to play
He's bored, he's mad, he's all shook up
And there's gonna be hell to pay

Verse 5: Boz Scaggs & Bonnie Raitt]
Well we've dirtied up the waters
We pretty much trashed the earth
The butcher and the baker and everybody else
Has taken it for all its worth
Saying "me oh my, it was a big old pie
And I sure as hell filled my cup"
That Senator's a comin' on a big white horse
And my judge is gonna fix me up
But as I come to this moment
It's time to pipe or pray
'Cause now it's time for the money shot baby
Times up and there's hell to pay
You got some hell to pay
