The price you pay

you make up your mind,

you choose the chance you take

you ride to where the highway ends

and the desert breaks

out on to an open road you ride until the day

you learn to sleep at night with the price you pay

now with their hands held high

they reached out for the open skies

and in one last breath they built the roads

they`d ride to their death

driving on through the night unable to break away

from the restless pull of the price you pay

(chorus)

oh the price you pay,oh the price you pay

now you can`t walk away from the price you pay

now theyd come so far and theyd waited so long
just to end up caught in a dream where everything
goes wrong
where the dark of night holds back the light of day
and you`ve gotta stand and fight for the price you
pay.

(repeat chorus)

little girl down on the strand
with that pretty little baby in your hands
do you remember the story of the promised land
how he crossed the desert sands
and could not enter the chosen land
on the banks of the river he stayed
to face the price you pay.
