Standard (EADGBE)

You make up your mind you choose the chance you take

 You ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaks

 Out on to an open road you ride until the day

 You learn to sleep at night with the price you pay

Now with their hands held high,

 they reached out for the open skies

 And then with their last breath they built the roads

 They would ride to their deaths

 Driving on through the night, unable to break away

 >From the restless pull of the price you pay

 Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay

 Now you can't walk away from the price you pay

Now they'd come so far and they'd waited so long

 Just to end up caught in a dream where everything goes wrong

 Where the dark of night holds back the light of the day

 And you've gotta stand and fight for the price you pay

 Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay

 Now you can't walk away from the price you pay

Solo

Little girl down on the strand

 With that pretty little baby in your hands

 Do you remember the story of the promised land

 How he crossed the desert sands

 And could not enter the chosen land

 On the banks of the river he stayed

To face the price you pay

 So let the games start, you better run you little wild heart

 You can run through all the nights and all the days

 But just across the county line,

 A stranger passing through put up a sign

 That counts so many fallen away to the price you pay,

 Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay

 Now you can't walk away from the price you pay

 Oh, the price you pay, oh, the price you pay

 Now you can't walk away from the price you pay
