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 heads held high
 They reached out for the open sky
 And with their one last breath
 They knew the roads they would ride to their deaths
 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
 You can't walk away from the price you pay
 Now they've come so far and they've waited so long
 Just to end up caught in a dream where everything goes wrong
 Where the dark of the night holds back the light of the day
 And you got to 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 her 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 stays
 To face the price you pay
 So let the games start
 You better run your 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 so many fallen away
 To 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
 Oh, the price you pay
 Oh, the price you pay
 You can't walk away from the price you pay
