The devil in me

 

This little dirty town where I was wandering around

Is a place where I can not get out

Where I see the same people day after day

It always goes up and down

You will find me here with a lonesome beer

And my dog sleeps on the floor

I would like to go out with him in this dirty town

But I'm not alone out the door

 

The pictures on the wall stare at me and recall

What all I left behind

But the time goes by and I ask myself why

Sometimes it's me who cries

Over things I've done and that are gone

It was not always right

But it was my way to where I've always remained

And now I have my last fight

 

The devil in me you can not see

Drives me along

The devil in me wants to be like me

And time goes on

 

I remember the time when I was kind

I was happy with the world

The sun shined bright and I felt alright

And nobody could me hurt

I was a crazy boy and every day a joy

I was not everyone

Now I'm looking back, see the young man jack

And now it's all gone
