Dear lord I ain’t no life to save
I got my own damn roads to pave
Tryin to be a saint, trying to change my ways
While I’m sittin’ on the edge of the bed I made.
Dear Mama I’m not the one to blame,
I got my battles in this game,
Living like a fool, trying to stop this train,
You know, sitting on the tracks drives a man insane.
I got a devil on my left, angel on my right,
Both ladies pouring whiskey,
Ain’t afraid to bite, they only need a lot at night.
Devil on my left, angel on my right,
Both ladies pouring whiskey,
Ain’t afraid to bite, they only need a lot at night.
Dear father I’m the mad you made,
Learned life living by that blade,
Pushin’ up roses in the dirt I laid,
You can’t mow the fires unless you touch the flame.
Dear me, I’m the one to change,
It’s my own scene to rearrange,
Reciting every word, truth be it sounds strange,
Watching every character leaping off the page.
I got a devil on my left, angel on my right,
Both ladies pouring whiskey,
Ain’t afraid to bite, they only need a lot at night.
Devil on my left, Angel on my right,
Both ladies pouring whiskey,
Ain’t afraid to bite, they only need a lot at night.
I got the devil on my left, angel on my right,
Both ladies pouring whiskey,
Ain’t afraid to bite, they only need a lot at night.
Devil on my left, angel on my right,
Both ladies pouring whiskey,
Ain’t afraid to bite, they only need a lot at night.
