Lyrics

You say you got reasons
To walk out that door
You say that you're leaving
Like many times before
You always get the feeling
I don’t treat you right
Now you’re running southbound, baby
Leave it all behind
Claim that you love me, it’s one thing we got
Now that its ruined
Love me or not
Cause you’re out on your own
It’s a hard way to go
Better the devil you know
The devil you don’t know
You search for your freedom
All you dig up is lies
Rolling the hard way
It’s no kind of life
Top of the bottom
And it brings you to your knees
Maybe its just that life you desire
Can't feel the frying pan
But you love the fire
Cause you’re out on your own
It's a hard way to go
Better the devil you know
The devil you don’t know
Drive me crazy
Play myself for a fool
As you reach for the bottle
First sign of morning dew
Keep bringing it down
Faster than Niagara Falls
You say that you’re hungry
The day you have it all
Claim that you love me
One thing we got
Now that it’s ruined
Love me or not
Cause you’re out on your own
Its a hard way to go
Better the devil you know
The devil you don’t know
The devil you don’t know
