Lyrics
I try to be a decent man
Livin' clean and livin' right
But I keep feelin' the devil's hand
And I'm runnin' low... low on fight
He beats me down, I get back up
But that snake won't let me be
I guess one round ain't hell enough
Why's the devil keep pickin' on me
Why's the devil keep pickin' on me
Am I on his list of who needs misery
Don't he know I'm not his kind
And he'll never change my mind
Why's the devil keep pickin' on me
In my younger years, I was pretty wild
Did a few things I regret
And through sinner's tears, I wonder now
Is he collecting on some old debt
Why's the devil keep pickin' on me
Am I on his list of who needs misery
Don't he know I'm not his kind
And he'll never change my mind
Why's the devil keep pickin' on me
My resolve might be wearin' thin
But I refuse to let that hell hound win
Why's the devil keep pickin' on me
Am I on his list of who needs misery
Don't he know I'm not his kind
And he'll never change my mind
Why's the devil keep pickin' on me
