DEVIL’S DEAL
T. Richard & D. Folkins © 2015

WHEN I WAS I YOUNG MAN I KNEW THAT DEVIL WELL

WE WOULD RUN ALL NIGHT RAISING ALL SORTS OF HELL

BUT GIRL YOU SAVED ME AND SHOWED ME THE WAY

I AINT PERFECT I’M A BETTER MAN TODAY


SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE I’VE GOT AN ANGEL ON MY SIDE

AND WHEN I LOOK AT YOU I KNOW I GOT IT RIGHT

BUT THERE’S A SIDE ME THAT WANTS TO RUN AND BE WILD

GET LOST IN THE SMOKE AND BRIMSTONE FOR A LITTLE WHILE

*Chorus
WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THE DEVIL WHAT’S HE WANT WITH ME
DOING MY BEST BUT HE WON’T LEAVE
I GOT THIS FIRE INSIDE LIKE A BURNING WHEEL
SO WHAT’S THE DEVIL’S DEAL
WHAT’S THE DEVIL’S DEAL


SOMETIMES JUST ONE WHISKEY LEADS LIKE JUST ONE MORE

FIGHTING WITH THE DEAMONS INSIDE THESE HONKEYTONK DOORS

I QUIT THOSE CIGARETTES BUT THE BATTLE RAGES ON

I STILL TASTE THAT NICOTINE WHEN I HEAR AN OLD WAYLON SONG


*Chorus
WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THE DEVIL WHAT’S HE WANT WITH ME
DOING MY BEST BUT HE WON’T LEAVE
I GOT THIS FIRE INSIDE LIKE A BURNING WHEEL
SO WHAT’S THE DEVIL’S DEAL
WHAT’S THE DEVIL’S DEAL


BRIDGE
I THOUGHT TOLD HIM

WE WERE DONE WERE THROUGH

BUT HE AINT LISTENING

‘CAUSE THIS WHISKEY IS THE PROOF

*Chorus
WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THE DEVIL WHAT’S HE WANT WITH ME
DOING MY BEST BUT HE WON’T LEAVE
I GOT THIS FIRE INSIDE LIKE A BURNING WHEEL
SO WHAT’S THE DEVIL’S DEAL
WHAT’S THE DEVIL’S DEAL
