Lyrics
Everybody Pays
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you’re whistling el paso on a cold laredo dawn
And your mind is just as wind-blown as the dirt roads you've been on
When you think you left your wallet on a counter back a ways
Rest assured my pretty babe,
Rest assured my pretty baby,
Everybody pays
Everybody pays
When you’re standing on the front porch and the wind begins to howl
And you know you ought move but you can’t remember how
When it’s only been a minute but it feels like its been days
Rest assured my pretty babe,
Rest assured my pretty baby,
Everybody pays
Everybody pays
When you’re sitting in the bar and the band is setting up
While your friends are shooting pool and falling deep into their cups
While you’re showing them your back and trying to wish them all away
Rest assured my pretty babe,
Rest assured my pretty baby,
Everybody pays
Everybody pays
El caballo’s caught his foreleg in the twisted thorny wire
And he’ll throw himself against it til it gives or he expires
While the mares are grazing easy on the far side of the gate
Rest assured my pretty babe,
Rest assured my pretty baby,
Everybody pays
Everybody pays
When you’re whistling el paso on a cold laredo dawn
When you’re walking in the world but you’re living in a song
While you stamp your little tracks onto a vanished seabed’s clay
Rest assured my pretty babe,
Rest assured my pretty baby,
Everybody pays
Everybody pays
