Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues/R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt. Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. Later she would become famous for her bottleneck-style guitar playing. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more...I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist.

Hell to Pay Lyrics
Bonnie Raitt
Hey mister, we want you to know
We think youve taken this about as far as it can go
Its about to blow
You got nowhere to run
Why dont you sit back and watch the show
Used to drop your little darlin off at sunday school
Family values while youre gettin some behind the pool
Shes nobodys fool
So dont be actin surprised when your daughter
Wants it bad as you
You jack up the rent, you call in a loan
Clear your intent is to screw em out of all they own
Throw the dog a bone
Well youll be cryin for mercy when your karma
Calls you on the phone
Times are hard...aint it a bitch
Japanese are makin you twitch
All your investments are turnin sour
Kinda spoils your happy hour
Look around, were comin your way
Its a wonder to us how you ever thought youd
Get away
What you say
Well, the way it looks from here
You wont have to wait
The way it looks from here
No need to hesitate
Have a party celebrate
The way it looks from here
You wont have to wait for hell to pay....
