I hit a real nice line drive through the pines

And right into my neighbor

Mr. Simpson’s big bay window

Me and the guys ran like our pants were on fire

Til we were out of breath

And they never did catch whoever did it
[Chorus]

But I paid for it
Bm A
Every time I walked by and he waved hi

I paid for it
A
Even though it didn’t cost me a single dime
D A/C#
I don’t know if it’s true
Bm A
But part of me believes he always knew

I guess even when you don’t you kinda do
D A/C# D A
Yeah I paid for it

While she was home with the baby

I just phoned and told her I was working

We didn’t quit til we closed the bar

Jay put it all on the company card
G D/F# A
Didn’t cost me nothin’ hell who was I hurtin’
[Chorus]

But I paid for it

When I crawled into bed in the dark

Next day when she said babe you’re working too hard

D A
They told me he might not have long
Bm D
And I was looking at that ticket home
G D A
And thinking it was more than I could spend
D A/C# Bm D
But however much it was the money didn’t matter much
G D/F# A
When my phone began to buzz at 2am
[Chorus]
D
So I paid for it
Bm D
Every goodbye hug and talk in his truck
G D/F#
I paid for it
A
From playing checkers on the living room rug
D A/C#
To standing here crying in the rain
Bm A
All that love for all this pain
G D/F# A
But hey, I’d make that trade any day
A
Because it’s so worth it
[Outro]
D A Bm D A D A D
