Devil and Me Songtext
von Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen

I′ve been fighting all my life
Just to keep my hands clean
Lord knows, cause he's seen me try

We had a life for each other
My woman, wife, and lover
It hurts me to see it all die

But now you′re right beside me
And you're crying on my shoulder
Life's a reckless thing that I done

If you wanna know
What′s going on inside of me
In the battle for my soul
The devil won


Cause it′s a long way to heaven
When you're heading down
It′s a hard road to travel
To turn your life around
It's a long way to heaven
If your soul ain′t free
But it's a quick trip to nowhere
For the devil and me

We fell in love together
Thought it would be forever
But there′s a side of me you'll never know

You always loved and trusted me
And never even questioned me
When time would come when I would have to go

And every time you needed me
Something deep inside
Never would allow my love to show

Early in the evenin'
And the shadows come a peepin′
The devil calls
And I can′t answer no


Cause it's a long way to heaven
When you′re heading down
It's a hard road to travel
To turn your life around
It′s a long way to heaven
If your soul ain't free
But it′s a quick trip to nowhere
For the devil and me
