One Step Ahead

I saw him for the first time in a bar
At a table in the back dealin’ cards
I put down all my money, there was just no way to win
I swore I’d never play his game again

The Second time I saw him, I was stoned
Low down and out, and all alone
He offered me a drink, and said I’ll buy that round
I was in no shape to turn him down

(Chorus)
Tryin’ to find my way, has become quite a struggle
All this good and bad is getting harder to juggle
Now I am the crossroads, and I’m askin to be led
To take the right turn, and stay one step ahead of the devil

Never saw him at Mamma’s house
But since the day I left, he’s followed me a’round
Trying to shake him by myself, has been putting me through hell
Lord thats why I’m asking for your help

(Chorus)

Never saw him at Mamma’s house
But since the day I left, he’s followed me a’round
