Pay My Dues

(album: Strikes - 1979)

Well I pay my dues by singing the blues
Someday it's gonna end
Well the light that shines
In the sky up above
It's just around the bend

Living a life, it ain't easy
Yes, you got to pay
Living a life, it ain't easy
Lord, you got to pay your dues
Living a life, it ain't easy
Pay your dues
Living a life, it ain't easy
Well the light that shines
In the sky up above
It's just, just, just around the bend

I said the choice is yours how you wanna pay
There's no denying you owe
'Cause just as sure as we all came
Baby, we got to go

Living a life, it ain't easy
Yes, you got to pay
Living a life, it ain't easy
Lord, you got you got to pay your dues
Living a life, it ain't easy
Ohh pay your dues
Living a life, it ain't easy
I said I'm just as sure
Just as sure, just as sure, oohh

Living a life, it ain't easy
Living a life, it ain't easy

[Solo]

Well just as sure,
Baby Just as sure,
Just as sure, ooh yes yes
Living a life, it ain't easy
Living a life, it ain't easy
