The Devil And Me

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
