There was a man, he lived down the road
Meanest old man you'd ever know
Always drinkin', no self—control
The devil's got a hold of his soul
The man was a beast, he'd throw you around
Run for the hills when he came to town
Had a son who was homebound
Mama was always wearin' a frown
The devil in a man — Heey
The devil in a man
Ohohoh, it's the devil in a man
Ohohoh, it's the devil in a man
Ohohoh, it's the devil in a man
Ohohoh, it's the devil in a man
Came home from the navy with a chest full of pain
Saw the world in its darkness, and never came back the same
Neighbors steer clear, they all know the sound
Of his rage in the night, when the devil comes round
But sometimes you catch him, staring at the sky
Like he's searching for answers he'll never untie
Ohohoh, it's the devil in a man — Heey
The devil in a man
The devil in a man
The devil in a man
The devil in a man
The devil in a man
The devil in a man
The devil in a man
The devil
The devil
It's the devil in a man
