Devil's Side

Black as coal slap dab in the middle of the night
When the world comes crashin' down
Nothin' good ever happens after midnight in this ole town
Old crow comin' loud on the telephone wire
Tryna tell me what I can't see
Lose your soul if you don't listen carefully

It's so wrong, because it feels so right
Ain't no good gonna come from lyin where a snake lies
A stone you throw could come back and hit you in the eye
And it's hard to see Heaven when you live on the devil's side

Preacher man been workin' on a sermon for Sunday, tryin' to save our soul
Getting' harder everyday with the world spinnin' outta control
Must be your love draggin' me back here every week to this pew so I can pray
Tellin' me to be thankful every minute of every day

It's so wrong, because it feels so right
Ain't no good gonna come from lyin where a snake lies
A stone you throw could come back and hit you in the eye
And it's hard to see Heaven when you live on the devil's side

Black as coal, slap dab in the middle of the night when the world come crashin' down
Nothin' good ever happened after midnight in this ole town
