[Verse 1: Boz Scaggs & Bonnie Raitt] Well I got a Senator over in Texas Got me a judge down in New Orleans Bought me a Senator over in Texas And a judge down in New Orleans Sometimes I call the Gulf my oyster Sweetest little deal you’ve ever seen [Verse 2: Boz Scaggs] Well the one kid’s high on God knows what And the other one smashed the Benz Between the bank boys and the lawyers I don’t know where it ends Sometimes I've got to wonder about living high in the hog There’s times I wish I’d married me a woman 'Stead of buying this fierce show dog Can’t say the old man didn’t warn me When he 'xplained me judgment day And the one little thing I forgot to remember There’s a matter of some hell to pay [Verse 3: Bonnie Raitt] And then here comes Shifty and his new 150 He wants to take me for a ride Saying hey little mamma how ‘bout a little drama Why don’t you just hop in inside? Said I might look like a yokel but I’m high tech mogul With a tiger in my tank I said oh my goodness you’re a real smooth talker I believe I’ll take that drink But first thing buddy better cool your jets Before you make your play You gotta feed the kitty and oh yes well There’s a matter of some hell to pay [Guitar solo] [Verse 4: Boz Scaggs & Bonnie Raitt] Well now you got your devil in the details Got your devil in the cake You can’t look around most anywhere That the devil ain’t on the take He’s waiting on down at the end of the aisle He’s a waiting at the pearly gates I’d say the man’s about everywhere Ubiquitous some might say Truth is he’s worn out all us fools And ain’t no one left to play He’s bored, he’s mad, he’s all shook up And there’s gonna be hell to pay [Slide guitar solo] [Verse 5: Boz Scaggs & Bonnie Raitt] Well we’ve dirtied up the waters We pretty much trashed the earth The butcher and the baker and everybody else Has taken it for all its worth Saying “me oh my, it was a big old pie And I sure as hell filled my cup” That Senator’s a comin' on a big white horse And my judge is gonna fix me up But as I come to [guage?] this moment It’s time to pipe or pray 'Cause now it’s time for the money shot baby Times up and there’s hell to pay You got some hell to pay
