"The Devil And Me" lyrics

When I was only sixteen, the Devil spoke to me
Taken by his flaming hand and carried his decease
'Cause I was just a young boy, I had so much to learn
Taken by his flaming hand and I began to burn

He said, "Boy when you grow up to be a man"
He said, "Do it all and do it when you can"

And when you're down on luck
Pull yourself back up, and carry on
Got to make it right
So you stand and fight, and carry on

When I was only seventeen, an angel spoke to me
She took me by my idle hand, and I began to see
That I was still a young boy, and so much left to learn
I ran away back to that Devil and I began to burn

He said, "Life is short do whatever you please"
He said, "Never bow and don't live to your knees"

And when you're down on luck
Pull yourself back up, and carry on
Got to make it right
So you stand and fight, and carry on

That day that I turned eighteen, the Devil spoke to me
"There's so much more to teach you, boy, I could set you free"
That angel, she was waiting there behind the door
That angel, she's a clever thing, now Devil was no more

She said, "Boys like that they waste a precious time"
She said, "Life is hard but boy just take your time"

And when you're down on luck
Pull yourself back up, and carry on
Got to make it right
So you stand and fight, and carry on
And when you're down on luck
Pull yourself back up, and carry on
Got to make it right
So you stand and fight, and carry on
