Devil And Me

(الألبوم: Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen - 1975)

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 evening
And the shadows come a peeping
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
