Go on, girl, take your chances
See how long you can go on from man to man
I can read the lines between your stolen glances
And i know it’s time to fold this losing hand
‘cause you’re drawn to the flame
By the thrill and the shame
Of the cheating game they taught you how to play
But there’s a price to that high lie you’re living
And you’ve still got the devil to pay

Join your friends, while you got ‘em
‘cause you know you’re getting older every day
You can’t wait to let ‘em take you to the bottom
And i’m getting tired of standing in your way
But when you hit the ground
Don’t go lookin’ around
For the pieces of the love you threw away
That’s just a part of the high cost of leaving
And you’ve still got the devil to pay.

You’ve been flying so high for so long that you lied
To yourself now, most of all
Baby, all that you needed from me was the freedom to fall.

When your bright lights are gone
You’ll be standing alone
And forsaken in the naked light of day
And you’ll know that it’s all over but the dying
And you’ve still got the devil to pay.

In July 1863
A nation torn in tragedy
A trick of fate,Two great armies merge
Gods of war at Gettysburg
Devastation lies ahead
50,000 bodies litter the land
Hell rages three full days
The reaper sows, there’s the devil to pay

The pressure’s on and the resb’s attack
The yanks must hold, They can’t fall back
Just two brigades, 2000 strong
Against 20,000 they can’t hold long

General Reynolds makes his way
Expect no mercy from the iron brigade
Until he shows they’re on their own
But Buford’s men have a will of stone

Bayonets gleam in the moorning sun
Smoke and fire belching from their guns
Another volley and again they strike
Thousands more comin’ down Chambersbourg pike

Chorus
This tragedy and what it brings
All th devastation
“The reaper has his way”
Men will kill, Blood will spill
To preserve the nation
“There’s the devil to pay”

South of town down the Emmitsburg road
The first corps are starting to show
For Buford’s men, They’re here just in time
The desperate need to strenghthen the line

Bodies dropping the blue and the grey
Muskets fire and cannon blaze
The union fights defending the town
But they’re outnumbered and losing ground

From the north and the west mre rebels arrive
Thousands more and the fight multiplies
McPhearson’s ridge and the black hats strike
A rebel sharshooter takes Reynolds life

Repeat Chorus

(Instrumental Bridge)

Attack! Attack! General Lee gives command
They’re overwhelmed, The situation demands
The federals retreat and rush out of town
But they have fortified and saved the high ground

The day ends in victory for the south
Lee’s as convinced as god’s will is profound
They are invincible and their cause is just
But longstreet is cautions and lacking in trust

Across the way the union digs in
The round tops, cemetary ridge and out to culps hill
their lines are strong, No denying they’ll stay
When the confederates strike
There’ll be the devil to pay!

Repeat chorus
