Steve Thompson - Price To Pay lyrics

Standing here with a tale to tell I might as well tell to you Nothing near Wagnerian As Terminater Two It's an old on about a little dirt farm girl Who wanted to get out for good She'd do anything to keep that dream She'd do anything she could Who was she To feel so free With her heart on her sleeve She just couldn't believe There was a price to pay Her very first chance to escape that year Came when the circus had come to town She wound up in bed and quite madly in love With some rubber nose juggling clown He promised her he'd return for her come next spring And he swore that he wouldn't forget So, needless to say came the following May More than her appetite was getting wet She proceeded unheeded and quite undefeated To the trailer behind the tent And her heart began to soar at his trailer door She was gonna go wherever he went Who was she To feel so free With her heart on her sleeve She just couldn't believe There was a price to pay He arrived at last at about half past With a girl under every arm But all of this in itself could have been innocent as hell But what began to cause her alarm Was when he locked the door behind him like she'd always been She was standing alone in the dirt And her eyes were so dry that she began to cry And something began to hurt She wanted to tear the hair out of her head Yeah and she wanted to wish that she was dead But a voice in her just would not let her drop And her heart began to break but it didn't stop "Run all your races And don't you fear You and I Are getting out of here And we'll survive That I guarantee Cause you don't need much When all you have is me" She listened to the little voice in her And then she hit the road Free at last with just a tiny scar And finally on her own No one knows what became of her All we know is she got away And though there really ain't no guarantees down here I like to think she did okay Who was she To feel so free With her heart on her sleeve She just wouldn't believe That there's a price to pay [x4]
