Pay Me Lyrics

[00:01.00] They pay me not to come home
[00:04.36] Keeping me stoned
[00:07.51] I won't run away
[00:11.87] They say it's easy to get
[00:15.23] Stuck in this town
[00:18.59] Just like Joan
[00:23.71] You know I gave it all up for the stage
[00:29.34] They fill my cup up in the cage
[00:35.93] It's nobody's business but mine when I'm low
[00:43.31] To hold yourself up is not a crime here you know
[00:51.16] At the end of the world
[00:57.16] I kick my foot at the lights
[01:03.45] I breathe it in all night
[01:09.61] There's a light on a canvas tree
[01:15.88] Money from home supporting me
[01:22.32] They pay me not to come
[01:26.49] I won't eat crow
[01:29.93] Ill stay away
[01:35.02] And though all roads will not lead you home my girl
[01:43.57] All roads lead to the end of the world
[01:52.79] I sewed a little luck up in the hem of my gown
[02:00.50] The only way down from the gallows is to swing
[02:10.21] And I'll wear boots instead of high heels
[02:17.62] And the next stage that I am on it will have wheels
[02:25.27]
