Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen — Devil and Me lyrics

Lyrics

I’ve been fighting all my life
Just to keep my hands clean
Lord knows, cause he’s seen me try
We had a life for each other
My woman, wife, and lover
It hurts me to see it all die
But now you’re right beside me And you’re crying on my shoulder
Life’s a reckless thing that I done
If you wanna know
What’s going on inside of me In the battle for my soul
The devil won
Cause it’s a long way to heaven
When you’re heading down
It’s a hard road to travel
To turn your life around
It’s a long way to heaven
If your soul ain’t free
But it’s a quick trip to nowhere
For the devil and me We fell in love together
Thought it would be forever
But there’s a side of me you’ll never know
You always loved and trusted me And never even questioned me When time would come when I would have to go And every time you needed me Something deep inside
Never would allow my love to show
Early in the evenin'
And the shadows come a peepin'
The devil calls
And I can’t answer no Cause it’s a long way to heaven
When you’re heading down
It’s a hard road to travel
To turn your life around
It’s a long way to heaven
If your soul ain’t free
But it’s a quick trip to nowhere
For the devil and me
