Lyrics
There's a demon of doubt, I caught digging my grave
Grinning cause he knows he's got me
Dead to rights, there in his sights
I'm looking down ready to jump in
Good Lord) I'm looking down ready to jump in
CHORUS -And it scares me to think I'm getting older, finest days and best battles behind
Watching the parade like an undecorated soldier, stuck in a time that is over
Songs on the radio don't speak to me, the TV shows don't bring a smile
Summer nights were warm, in the embrace of your arms
But now I'm just lonely and confused, I'm left alone and confused
CHORUS
If the story ended here, I suppose the demon wins, grinning as he's got both you and me
But he's in big trouble, cause I got me a shovel
And I'm filling that grave back in (all the way)
I'm filling that grave he dug back in
There's a demon of doubt, I caught digging my grave, Grinning when he thought he had me
