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.
