The Devil And Me

(album: Fickle Heart - 2014)

They told me that my life was headed for the devil
And I asked them, "What's a life if you're living like you're dead?"
They started praying, they were saying "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 singing my song, well I'll shiver
'Cause I know they won't be coming here for anybody else
But I won't pray: I've made my grave and I'll sleep in it
If there's 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
