devil walks behind you
|
sneakin' ever ready to steal your world away
|
no matter what you mean to
|
he'll have you saying things you really should not say
|
|
it's not that I'm a bad man
|
had my good intentions just like all the rest
|
but when he gets behind you
|
it's hard to see for real it's hard to know what's best
|
|
but just 'cause I missed it
|
no need to get all bitter 'n twisted
|
|
pocket full of promises
|
but promises don't buy your things or pay your way
|
I had it my palm girl
|
now there's just an empty hand down there today
|
|
but just 'cause I missed it
|
no need to get all bitter 'n twisted
|
I said just 'cause I missed it
|
no need to get all bitter 'n twisted
|
|
I tried to walk the straight line
|
tried to pass the swingin' door on my way home
|
I thought about the good things
|
then I thought about the bad things too and was undone
|
|
I miss my wife and kids now
|
miss all the little things we used to do and say
|
devil walks behind you
|
sneakin' ever ready to steal your soul away
|
|
but just 'cause I missed it
|
no need to get all bitter 'n twisted
|
I said just 'cause I missed it
|
no need to get all bitter 'n twisted
|
