Lyrics
DEVIL IN ME
I'VE BEEN RUNNING FROM THE LAW SINCE THE DAY THAT I COULD RIDE
DOIN' WHAT I TO JUST TO SURVIVE
I'VE GOT POSSE ON MY TRAIL AND A BOUNTY ON MY HEAD
POSTER SAYS DEAD OR ALIVE BUT THEY'D HAVE TO TAKE ME DEAD
I ROBBED A BANK IN CARSON CITY ON THE 23RD OF MAY
I SHOT WANNABE HERO CAUSE HE GOT IN MY WAY
I DIDN'T WANT TO PULL THE TRIGGER BUT THAT FOOL WOULDN'T LEAVE ME BE
THEY FORGOTTEN ABOUT HIM BUT THEY SURE REMEMBER ME
CHORUS
IF HEAVEN IS A PLACE
THEN HELL'S A STATE OF MIND
WHERE ME AND DEVIL WE GET ALONG JUST FINE
HE'S THERE IN THE MIRROR THROUGH HIS EYES I SEE
THAT FOOL WAS JUST A VICTIM OF THE DEVIL IN ME
I MET A GIRL IN ARIZONA WHO WAS HALF BLOOD CHEROKEE
SAID SHE'D FOUND THE LORD AND THOUGHT SHE COULD SAVE ME
SHE FOLLOWED ME TO NEW MEXICO BUT THINGS TURNED FROM BAD TO WORSE
CAUSE A BULLET THAT WAS MEANT FOR ME FOUND HER FIRST
CHORUS
SHE WAS JUST ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE DEVIL IN ME
THEY CAUGHT UP TO ME IN TEXAS ON THE MIGHTY RIO GRANDE
MY CHOICE WAS SWIM TO FREEDOM OR STOP AND MAKE A STAND
SHOT'S RANG OUT LIKE THUNDER FROM THAT VALLEY FAR BELOW
THEY STOPPED ME DEAD A STONES THROW FROM THE SHORES OF MEXICO
CHORUS
I'M JUST ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE DEVIL IN ME
