Pay For the Call Lyrics by Mo Robson

Round and Round We All Go

2022

[Verse 1]
After twenty years of in-and-out of prison
I keep on thinkin' he should've learned by now
But he always find himself a way back in
Every damn time they decide to let him out
[Chorus]
Ah, 'cause he just can't help sayin' yes
When he should be sayin' no
And now he's stealin' anything that ain't bolted down
So he can put another line up his nose
But I'm not pointin' the finger — hell, I ain't no saint after all
I won't send him no money, but I always pay for the call
[Verse 2]
Back in our day, he was the local town hero
He had the girls all lovin' him — man, he could play somе ball
He got a new Corvettе with his full-ride to college
Well, he made it one season, got kicked out the very next fall
[Chorus]
Ah, 'cause he just can't help sayin' yes
When he should be sayin' no
And now he's stealin' anything that ain't bolted down
So he can put another line up his nose
But I'm not pointin' the finger — hell, I ain't no saint after all
I won't send him no money, but I always pay for the call
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
He tried goin' straight, he found a job and Jesus
He took a swim in the river to confirm his revival
In six months, he was pullin' chain, waitin' on a bluebird
They found it stashed in the halfway house hidden there in his Bible
[Chorus]
Ah, 'cause he just can't help sayin' yes
When he should be sayin' no
And now he's stealin' anything that ain't bolted down
So he can put another line up his nose
But I'm not pointin' the finger — hell, I ain't no saint after all
I won't send him no money, but I always pay for the call
[Outro]
But I always pay for the call
