The Devil Wins

On the straight and narrow trying to shoot like an arrow

And standing on the street tonight

Stone cold sober and feeling worked over

While the moon starts to shine so bright

I can feel it in my heart, I can feel it in my bones

I'm going out, but I ain't going alone

All I gotta do is knock, I know that you're home

And everything'll be alright

But if I could, I would drink until the whole world ends

It ain't good, but I'd go out, and I'd run with you, my friend

If I could, I would do it all and do it all again

I try so hard, but sometimes the devil wins

I try so hard, but sometimes the devil wins

Just barely made it, and I hate to say it

But half the time I'm just hanging on

They can rest in peace six feet deep

To all my good friends past and gone

Yeah, I heard what the good book said

But don't push me when I'm close to the edge

I gotta let these ghosts outta my head

Then maybe we can make it through

But if I could, I would drink until the whole world ends

It ain't good, but I'd go out, and I'd run with you, my friend

If I could, I would do it all and do it all again

I try so hard, but sometimes the devil wins

I try so hard, but sometimes the devil wins

The devil wins

Try so hard, but sometimes the devil wins

The devil wins

Try so hard, but sometimes the devil wins

Try so hard, but sometimes the devil wins

I try to stand up straight before it's too late

For my brother who has moved on

He said I wasted so much time, I just feel like I've done everything wrong

Do I look like an angel? Man, I'm telling you

It's all that I could now just to try to be true

It's like the eye of a needle that I'm passing through

About as easy as they say in the songs

But if I could, I would drink until the whole world ends

It ain't good, but I'd go out, and I'd run with you, my friend

If I could, I would do it all and do it all again

Try so hard, but sometimes the devil wins

But if I could, I would drink until the whole world ends

It ain't good, but I'd go out, and I'd run with you, my friend

If I could, I would do it all and do it all again

Try so hard, but sometimes the devil wins

Try so hard, but sometimes the devil wins
