Been Around

I don't run from guilt, you see My conscience lets me know At least a thousand times or better every day Things I've done, mistakes I've made Raised feelings I'll lay in some grave If ever I am finally laid to rest If there is time to pray before I die, I pray, dear Lord You know that I was a righteous man That somehow lost his way Face me down when I shall pass Just so the world can kiss my ass And hell can't come get me from behind I've danced in the flames, and I've been burned I've walked on the harder side of life Of taking all the wrong turns I've been around, I've been down, and I've been wasted I fight with myself, sometimes, I lose I got me an angel on my shoulder, but I got the devil too I get down, I get around, and I get wasted 27 years along I've tried to make them right all wrong And I'm nearly died a few times on my way Well, I've seen the face of God first hand I've danced with the devil, man And I've needed help, grabbed for both their hands I've danced in the flames, and I've been burned Walked on the harder side of life Of taking all the wrong turns I've been around, I've been down, and I've been wasted I fight with myself, sometimes, I lose I got me an angel on my shoulder, but I got the devil too I get down, I get around, and I get wasted I fight with myself, sometimes, I lose I got me an angel on my shoulder But I got the devil too I get down, I get around, and I get wasted I don't run from guilt, you see My conscience lets me know At least a thousand times or better every day
