Everybody Pays Lyrics by Big Harp

White Hat

2011

When you're whistling El Paso
On a cold Laredo dawn
When your mind is just as wind-blown
As the dirt roads you've been on
When you think you left your wallet
On a counter back aways
Rest assured my pretty babe
Rest assured my pretty baby
Everybody pays
Oh, everybody pays
When you're standing on the front porch
And the wind begins to howl
And you know you oughta move
But you can't remember how
When it's only been a minute
But it feels like its been days
Rest assured my pretty babe
Rest assured my pretty baby
Everybody pays
Oh, everybody pays
When you're sitting int he bar
And the band is setting up
While your friends are shooting pool
And falling deep into their cups
While you're showing them your back
And trying to wish them all away
Rest assured my pretty baby
Rest assured my pretty baby
Everybody pays
Everybody pays
El Caballo's caught his foreleg
In the twisted thorny wire
And he'll throw himself against it
'Till it gives or he expires
While the mares are grazing easy
On the far side of the gate
Rest assured my pretty baby
Oh, rest assured my pretty baby
Everybody pays
Everybody pays
When you're whistling El Paso
On a cold Laredo dawn
When you're walking in the world
But you're living in a song
While you stamp your little tracks
Onto a vanished seabed's clay
Rest assured my pretty baby
Oh, rest assured my pretty baby
Everybody pays
Everybody pays
Oh, everybody pays
