RUN YOUR MOUTH, PAY THE BILL V3 (Alt 1)

Intro

Verse 1 Neon buzzin' "OPEN" in red Chalk dust on a crooked cue Big man bettin' words he can't spend Interest's comin' due

Pre-Chorus Every word's a wager Chalked up on the board Roll it high, big talker The house keeps the score

Chorus Run your mouth — pay the bill Every word goes on your tab Talk is cheap, right till it ain't And the house collects when you cain't Run your mouth... run your mouth...

Verse 2 Quarters stacked along the rail He went all-in on his voice Now his nose reads like a roadmap Of every wrong turn and bad choice

Pre-Chorus Every word's a wager Chalked up on the board Roll it high, big talker The house keeps the score

Chorus Run your mouth — pay the bill Every word goes on your tab Talk is cheap, right till it ain't And the house collects when you cain't Run your mouth... run your mouth...

Bridge Some bills take cash. Some take an apology. Some take a Tuesday in a waitin' room and everything you came in with. In May I paid in full, friend — signed it over, name and all. You think your tab is heavy? I paid the dirt a wife. Run your mouth — pay the bill Every word goes on your tab Talk is cheap, right till it ain't And the house collects when you cain't Run your mouth... run your mouth...

Outro [Spoken, flat] House always collects. Took everything I had.
