Blues Traveler - 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
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
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
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 you're 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 that she got away
And though there really ain't no guarantee 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]

There are two views - the other will see the Price I paid. LOL The rest will understand.
+Steven C. Cooper How nice an interpretation, sort of middle way via regretting not seeing the devil before you sold your soul and finding peace with the that....or not. Oh the paradox that is human nature!
+ladyinred Paradox vs Contradiction equals conviction. There is a truth in that!? Fight the good fight - and choose happiness over conviction!
Love this song!
find me a live version! My favorite Blues Traveler song!!!!
