[Verse 1]
Well, it's a rainy night in Paris and I'm sitting by the Seine
It's a pleasure to be soaking in the European rain
Now my belly's full of fancy food and wine

[Chorus]
Oh, but in the morning there'll be hell to pay
Somewhere along the line
In the morning there'll be hell to pay
Somewhere along the line

[Verse 2]
Sweet Virginia Cigarette a-burnin' in my hand
Well, you used to be a friend of mine but now I understand
You've been eating up inside me for some time

[Chorus]
Oh, and I know you're gonna get me
Somewhere along the line
Well, I know you're gonna get me
Somewhere along the line

[Bridge]
Somewhere along the line
Well, I know it's just a matter of time
When the fun falls through and the rent comes due
Somewhere along the line
Woah-woah
[Verse 3]
Well, you know I love my woman and I would not let her down
And I did my share of lovin' when I used to get around
Now I'm satisfied and she is lookin' fine

[Chorus]
Oh, but you pay for satisfaction
Somewhere along the line
Well, you pay for your satisfaction
Somewhere along the line

[Verse 4]
Hey, it's good to be a young man and to live the way you please
Yes, a young man is the king of every kingdom that he sees
There's an old and feeble man not far behind

[Chorus]
Oh, and it surely will catch up to him
Somewhere along the line
Well, it surely will catch up to him
Somewhere along the line

[Outro]
Well, you know it's gonna catch up to him
Somewhere along the line
A-woah-woah, woah-woah-oh-oh
