The Devil And Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They told me that my life was headed for the devil
And I asked them: What's a life if you're livin' like you're dead?
They started prayin', they were sayin': Well we hope you'll be forgiven
And even though I listened, I never heard a word they said
'Cause I was born to be a sinner
I was born to be free
I was born to dance with two left feet
So I kept on walking, I started talking with the devil
And I asked him: What's a life if you live it like you're dead?
He took my soul, then he washed it in a whiskey river
I took his hand, we stood there and watched the banks turn red
'Cause I was born to be a sinner
I was born to be free
I was born to dance with two left feet
And raised up to be the rebel
I was made with a little bit of fire, you see
I guess it's always been the devil and me
If I hear those angels singin' my song, well I’ll shiver
'Cause I know they won't be comin' here for anybody else
But I won't pray: I've made my grave and I'll sleep in it
If theres a heaven, I'm headed straight for hell
'Cause I was born to be a sinner
I was born to be free
I was born to dance with two left feet
And raised up to be the rebel
I was made with a little bit of fire, you see
I guess it's always been the devil and me
