I met the devil on the side of the road one day |
|
He said "how do you do?" |
|
I said it's hard to say |
|
So he smiled at me with a wicked grin |
|
He reached into his coat and then |
|
He gave me a bottle full of something sweet |
|
Said I'll fill it up every time we meet |
|
Oh mama the way that I'm livin |
|
Lyin' and a sinnin' and I just change |
|
Oh mama the way that I'm livin |
|
If I ever get to heaven it's a doggone shame |
|
One little drop is all it took |
|
To get my name in his book |
|
Now I sleep all day and I'm out all night |
|
And I can't tell wrong from right |
|
You know I'd change if I could |
|
But being bad, it feels so good |
|
Oh mama the way that I'm livin |
|
Lyin and a sinnin and I just change |
|
Oh mama the way that I'm livin |
|
If I ever get to heaven it's a doggone shame |
|
(monster guitar solo) |
|
On the day I die when they lay me down |
|
I know where my soul is bound |
|
And don't you cry, and don't you weep |
|
Cause it's too late to rescue me |
|
If you see the devil com in your way |
|
Get down on your knees |
|
And start to pray |
|
Oh mama the way that I'm livin |
|
Lyin and a sinnin and I just change |
|
Oh mama the way that I'm livin |
|
If I ever get to heaven it's a doggone shame |
