(Yeah, yeah! Ah, yeah!)
I live my life like there's no tomorrow
And all I've got, I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes I'm livin' at a pace that kills
(Oh, yeah! Ah!) runnin' with the devil (ah-ha, yeah!)
(Woo-hoo-oo!) runnin' with the devil
I'm gonna tell ya all about it
I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out, on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody, waitin' at home
(Ah, yeah-ah!) runnin' with the devil
(God damn it lady, you know I ain't lyin' to ya)
(I'm only gonna tell you one time-ya!)
Runnin' with the devil (yes I am, yeah!)
(Woo! Woo!) you know I
I found the simple life
Weren't so simple, no
When I jumped out, on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody, waitin' at home
(Ah, yeah!) runnin' with the devil
(Hold on, hold on! I'm runnin'! Ah, yeah!)
Runnin' with the devil
(Uh, uh! Come on, one more time)
(Ha-yeah!) runnin' with the devil
(Oh, yeah! Ya-yeah!) runnin' with the devil
(Woo, woo!) runnin' with the devil
(Ah-ha, yeah! Ah-ha, yeah! Ah-hah, yeah!)
Runnin' with the devil (woo!)
