Lyrics
Well, when I was a young man, I lived by the rules
You got to have respect, and you got to go to school
Boy, you've got a free ride, enjoy it while you can
Things will be different when you become a man
And it's payback time
It's payback time
Now there's an old saying, it ain't no lie
Life is a bitch, baby, and then you die
Tearing up the highway, that's the way I like to roll
The devil in the detail and the truth you ain't been told
If you're lucky, you get rich
You may become a king
But you can't take it with you when that golden bell rings
And it's payback time
Yes, it's payback time
Till the end of the line
Laugh till you cry
Then it's payback time
And when you're finally standing
At the end of the line
Love is too expensive
But you can't afford to die
And it's payback time
Yes, it's payback time
Till the end of the line
Laugh till you cry
Then it's payback time
Yes, it's payback time
I said, it's payback time
What goes around comes around
