A Day With The Devil

(альбом: Where I've Been - 2008)

I left here this morning, my feet hard on the ground
Swore I wasn't coming back, we'd fought our final round
Then a stranger, offered me a ride
So I took him up and climbed on inside
He said I've got some things to do, I hope that you don't mind
I figured what's the difference? I had lots of time
When I seen his eyes I sank in disbelief
I was riding with the devil, and I watched him do his deeds

He told that lonely man to keep drinking
Simple child to just quit thinking
And begged the wife to cheat
And he cursed the farmers land
Told that sick old soul to just give up
Teenage boy to take that puff
And whispered to me let go of her hand

He said I can't keep you here, no not against your will
But go ahead and leave that girl and see how good it feels
Boy you know, this worlds a big ol' place
And loves not really real anyway
Life don't last forever, so you oughta roll the dice
You know I'd never tell a lie, just take my advice
But I'd seen enough and I told him we were through
I said go to hell, there's some things I need to do

I told that lonely man to quit drinking
Simple child to just keep thinking
And begged the wife to pray, God bless the farmer's land
Told that sick old soul to not give in
The teenage boy to run from sin
And came back home to take you by the hand
I know I can be a better man
