They pay me not to come home
|
Keeping me stoned
|
I won't run away
|
They say it's easy to get
|
Stuck in this town
|
Just like Joan
|
You know I gave it all up for the stage
|
They fill my cup up in the cage
|
It's nobody's business but mine when I'm low
|
To hold yourself up is not a crime here you know
|
At the end of the world
|
|
I kick my foot at the lights
|
I breathe it in all night
|
There's a light on a canvas tree
|
Money from home supporting me
|
They pay me not to come
|
I won't eat crow
|
Ill stay away
|
And though all roads will not lead you home my girl
|
All roads lead to the end of the world
|
I sewed a little luck up in the hem of my gown
|
The only way down from the gallows is to swing
|
And I'll wear boots instead of high heels
|
And the next stage that I am on it will have wheels
|

Pay Me
