Devil on My Shoulder

They say that life is what you make it to be

I take the blame for everything that's wrong with me

There's a devil on my shoulder telling lies to me

I got the last check they promised to send

They spent it on women and liquor again

There's a devil on my shoulder telling lies to me

I fell off the edge right into the deep end

I'm starting to sink, but I'm trying to swim

There's a devil on my shoulder telling lies to me

Got to be in court at 9 am

They want me to lose and I ain't going to win

There's a devil on my shoulder telling lies to me

Now I got to find a way to keep these demons down

And nothing in the Bible's going to turn my life around

And I can hear 'em talking and I can't

Believe that you can't see, you can't see

There's a devil on my shoulder telling lies to me

I stole some cash from the girl next door

And I went down to the convenience store

There's a devil on my shoulder telling lies to me

I met a girl with a pretty face

She was only seventeen so I bought her a case

There's a devil on my shoulder telling lies to me

She came back and hung out at my place

And asked to stay, would it be okay?

There's a devil on my shoulder telling lies to me

By 2 am I had her down on her knees

Then I found out her dad was the chief of police

There's a devil on my shoulder telling lies to me

Now I got to find a way to keep these demons down

And nothing in the Bible's going to turn my life around

And I can hear 'em talking and I can't

Believe that you can't see, you can't see

There's a devil on my shoulder telling lies to me

They say that life is what you make it to be

I take the blame for everything that's wrong with me

Now I got to find a way to keep these demons down

And nothing in the Bible's going to turn my life around

And I can hear 'em talking and I can't

Believe that you can't see, you can't see

There's a devil on my shoulder telling lies to me
