Pay That Toll Lyrics by OneRepublic
[Verse 1]
People always tell me
"There ain't nothing in this life that come free," come free
You can make a little bit of money
But it don't grow on trees (Mhmm)
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, put it on black, ring that bell
And throw a little coin down the wishing well
Yeah, you can go fast, fast as hell
But push it too hard, you're gonna wreck yourself
[Chorus]
Oh, mama said, "Boy, you should go slow
Been burning up and down that road"
Oh, you think you got time, but before you know
Someday you're gonna pay that toll
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Someday you're gonna pay that toll
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Someday you're gonna pay that toll
[Verse 2]
People always try to find the signs
Behind the things that they see, they see
Might be something, might be nothing
Might be everything that you need (Oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
So you put it on black, yeah, you ring that bell
You throw a little coin down the wishing well
Yeah, you can go fast, fast as hell
But push it too hard, you're gonna wreck yourself
[Chorus]
Oh, mama said, "Boy, you should go slow
Been burning up and down that road"
Oh, you think you got time, but before you know
Someday you're gonna pay that toll
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh, you're gonna pay, you're gonna pay that toll (Oh yeah)
Ooh-ooh, you're gonna pay, you're gonna pay that toll (Ooh)
[Outro]
Oh, mama said, "Boy, you should go slow
Been burning up and down that road"
Oh, you're crossing that line, but everybody knows
Someday you're gonna pay that toll
Oh, mama said, "Boy, you should go slow
Been burning up and down that road"
Oh, you think you got time, but before you know
Someday you're gonna pay that toll
Pay that toll
