[00:29.27]I got shot off my horse
[00:30.42]So what? I’m up again
[00:35.51]Playin’ in one of these big saloons on main
[00:38.91]You can come up here
[00:43.14]Take a look around these sinners dens
[00:45.16]You’re only ever goin’ to find
[00:47.72]One or two real games
[00:53.32]Nobody’s drivin’ me underground
[00:58.83]Not yet anyway
[01:02.51]But either on the strip
[01:06.17]Or on the edge of town
[01:09.42]Everybody pays
[01:15.23]Everybody pays to play
[01:27.43]Yeah, you ought to stay right
[01:30.88]Where you are in Sawdust Land
[01:36.05]It’s probably the safest place to be
[01:40.69]With your greasy little pork pies
[01:42.84]And your shoestring hands
[01:47.99]Makes no difference to me
[01:54.47]All those directions which we never took
[02:00.58]To go our different ways
[02:03.88]Who went and wrote
[02:07.20]The oldest story in the book?
[02:10.13]Everybody pays
[02:16.07]Everybody pays to play
[03:23.56]Curl up inside a boxcar dream and disappear
[03:28.66]With a couple low roller friends
[03:33.01]You were never one for trouble
[03:35.24]So get out of here
[03:41.12]I knew the game was dangerous back then
[03:45.57]But nobody’s breezin’
[03:47.31]Through these swingin’ doors
[03:53.75]Just ups and walks away
[03:56.88]Everybody has to leave
[04:00.63]Some blood here on the floor
[04:02.59]Everybody pays
[04:08.45]Everybody pays to play
[04:14.96]Yeah, everybody pays
[04:20.41]Everybody pays to play
