The Devil And God
grandma use to read us the bible at night
and i was the kid that had to go to church every sunday
they tried to show me the light
but as i got older
i sure put up a hell of a fight
oh
i've danced with the devil
and i've talked to god
i've done some right
and i've done a whole lot of wrong
i try to live life the best i can
but sometimes i get a little lost
and gotta pick myself back up
when i think i've had enough
the devil kicks me when i'm down
but god puts my feet back on the ground
the devil sits with me when i drink
and i wake up in the morning
hopin god didnt see
i swear the devils out to get me
but gods tellin him to let me be
oh
i've danced with the devil
and i've talked to god
i've done some right
and i've done a whole lot of wrong
i try to live life the best i can
but sometimes i get a little lost
and gotta pick myself back up
when i think i've had enough
the devil kicks me when i'm down
but god puts my feet back on the ground
i know deep down i'm not a bad person
but i keep on hurtin
the one thats got my back
i swear someday i'll get on the right track
i've danced with the devil
and i've talked to god
i've done some right
and i've done a whole lot of wrong
i try to live life the best i can
but sometimes i get a little lost
and gotta pick myself back up
when i think i've had enough
the devil kicks me when i'm down
but god puts my feet back on the ground
and i was the kid that had to go to church every sunday
