Song Description

This song starts as an acoustic lament about life, love, and judgement, and builds to an electric resolution.

Lyrics

Every bit of livin' I've been doin's been killin' me,
I took the wrong damn road again
And got nothin' but some busted teeth.
These are things I know because the devil tells me so,
And the devil knows,
and the devil knows.

There's a woman in a town somewhere that I used to know,
Some say she was never the same after I let her go.
These are things I know because some people told me so
And some people know,
And some people know.

Funny how she told me I was gonna die lonely.
Should've made a man of me.
Everything I learned to love I just forgot one day
I saw the devil in the mirror this morning
And I ain't afraid to say he made me cry
Love comes and goes,
And the devil knows

So the living I've been doing isn't all it's made out to be
There's a spirit moving somewhere that wants to get a piece of me
These are things I know sure as heaven's gates are closed.
The wind always blows,
And the devil knows.
