Hell to Pay
Boz Scaggs

(feat. Bonnie Raitt)


Well I got a Senator over in Texas.

Got me a judge down in New Orleans.

Bought me a Senator over in Texas

and a judge down in New Orleans.

Sometimes I call the world my oyster

sweetest little deal you’ve ever seen.


Well the one kid’s high on God knows what and

the other one smashed the Benz.

Between the bank boys and the lawyers

I don’t know where it ends.

Sometimes I got to wonder about

living high in the hog.

There’s times I wish I’d married me

a woman instead of buying this fierce old dog.

Can’t Say the old man didn’t warn me

when he’s bringin’ me judgment day

And one little thing I forgot to

remember, there’s a matter of some hell to pay


And then here comes shifty and his new 150 he

wants to take me for a ride.

Saying hey little mamma how ‘bout a little drama.

Why don’t you just hop in inside?

Said I might look like a yokel

but I’m high tech mogul with a tiger in my tank

I said oh my goodness you’re a real smooth

talker I believe I’ll take that drink.

But first thing buddy better cool your jets

before you make your play

You gotta feed the kitty and oh yes


well there’s a matter of some hell to pay.


Well now you got your devil in the details.

Got your devil in the cake

You can’t look around most anywhere

that the devil ain’t on the take

He’s waiting on down at the end of the isle

he’s a waiting at the pearly gates.

I’d say the man’s about everywhere

ubiquitous some might say

Truth is he’s worn out all us fools

ain’t no one left to play

He’s bored, he’s mad, he’s all shook up

and there’s gonna be hell to pay.


Well we’ve dirtied up the waters

we pretty much trashed the earth

The butcher and the baker and everybody else

has taken it for all its worth.

Sayin “me oh my it was a big old pie

and I sure as hell filled my cup”

That Senator’s a comin on a big white horse

and the judge is gonna fix me up

but if ya complicate this moment

it’s time to fight and pray

Cause now it’s time for the money shot baby

times up and there’s hell to pay
