Devil and Me (Album Version)

I've been fighting all my life just to keep my hands clean
Lord knows cause you've 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 lie beside me and you're crying on my shoulder
About some reckless thing that I've done
If you want to 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 that I would have to go
And every time you needed me, something deep inside
Never would allow my love to show
Early in the evening when the shadows come a creeping
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
