Bruce Springsteen - The Price You Pay Lyrics






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

Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay

Now they'd come so far and they'd 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 the day
And you've gotta stand and fight for the price you pay

Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
Now you can't walk away from the price you pay

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

So let the game start, you better run you little wild heart
You can run through all the nights and all the days
But just across the county line, a stranger passing through put up a sign
That counts the men fallen away to the price you pay, and girl before the end of the day,
I'm gonna tear it down and throw it away

    Lyrics:
    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

    Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
    Now you can't walk away from the price you pay

    Now they'd come so far and they'd 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 the day
    And you've gotta stand and fight for the price you pay

    Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay
    Now you can't walk away from the price you pay

    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

    Thank you very very much

    @Joey Saks you are most welcome :-)

  2. P.... B....

    VA fan hora hora dont fuck Whit me

  3. s.... ....

    A soundtrack for what we face now as a nation. You make your choices, eh?

  4. G.... C....

    Had this on vinyl(still do),got the cassette for the car('68 442 ragtop,it looked like rolling crap,and wiped the floor with everything it came up against- damn, I still miss that car. My husband had it taken out of the driveway on a hook,in '89,when we found out I was pregnant with our oldest.I still haven't forgiven him.That ugly/beautiful beast was the reason we ended up together, I figured anybody who had their priorities in that correct an order was my kind of wonderful.) The whole album is excellent, but this & The ties that bind are probably my favorites.It's odd that products and money can go anywhere they damn well please, free markets/free investment capital, but people...not so."Patriots" sure get their panties in a wad when people want to be free too.

  5. G.... T....

    One of my favorite tracks from my favorite Bruce/E Street Album. I loved this song when it was new and I was 18. Only later did I really understand it. It made me love the song more.

  6. A.... V....

    Fantastic music ❤️

  7. U.... R....

    3:15
    This part alludes to immigrants coming to America for a better future risking everything in the process.

    U.... R....

    Where did you see that? You sure it's not a biblical reference to wandering in the sands of the desert to find Canaan, the promised Land? He is Jewish after all

  8. S.... S....

    I'm gonna tear it down and throw it away!

  9. S.... H....

    Great album -- but why do Google/Sony have to interrupt the music every few minutes to check whether I'm still awake???

    S.... H....

    That's weird... because I don't get that. And I'm not a member or anything.

    S.... H....

    Cause you old and they do not want sleepy old people listening

  10. B.... A....

    One of his most overlooked songs...always was one of the songs I played on the B side of The River.

  11. G.... W....

    So true.

  12. m.... ....

    At least it’s been interesting

  13. Z.... A....

    Always hits me in the feels .

  14. s.... ....

    Love this song.
