This love affair with the bottle
has got to end
one way or the other
Well one day it all just hit me
that our love had gone bad
We were just using each other
you took everything I had
It left us. Both empty
I spent my whole life thinking
I had plenty of time
to change my ways and stop drinking
it was a victimless crime
Monday... turned to someday...
We were so wrong for one another
but you felt so right
when I held you so close and tight
You kept me warm
after the sun went down
but you left me,
in the morning broken down
I sit here looking through you
I finally see the light
Now I can live my life without you
time to give up the fight
goodbye, my lover
CHORUS
Some people might call you the devil
but I plainly see
That the devil was always in me
This love affair with the bottle
has got to end
one way or the other
I gotta quit you, or you’ll end me.

They are rumors and ghosts
The men that hide in the trees
The devil's in their eyes
Or, at least, the fire they breathe
They curl crooked fingers
'Round splintered guns that sneeze
And blow out your candle
With a flint flavored breeze
There's a blackbird who is smiling
As if he knows something I don't
Flashes of snakebite lightning
From their guns strike below
Shale and shadows
Worn boots move too slow
As I fly up this hollar
Their Springfields deal a blow
I thought I'd die for this flag
Now I don't know that I feel the same
As I lie on this mountain
I pray to The Unknown
God, where are you?
God, where are you?
God, where are you?
I need you to carry me home

He's gonna find that woman
He's gonna track her down
He's gonna turn every inch
Of this lonely town
Well she ain't no angel
She got devious eyes
He thinks she is the devil, in disguise
Well she took his heart
And put it in the ground
She took his money
And stole his crown
Well she ain't no angel
She got devious eyes
He thinks she is the devil, in disguise
He's gonna find that woman
He's gonna track her down
He's gonna turn every inch
Of this one horse town
Cause she ain't no angel
She got the devious eyes
He thinks she is the devil, in disguise

The Devil is on the run
Got Caught with a smoking gun
But are you ready, ready for the fall?
The truth gonna set you free
As sure as the lottery
We can’t expect it, expect to save us all
With a million silly reasons
Still believing that the sky will fall
Close our eyes and try to reckon
Waiting on our better angels’ call
War on democracy the beloved USA
We lost some luster, fucked our higher ground
Won’t solve with only doubt,
How do we work this out
We can do better, better for us all
The devil is on the run
Got caught with his smoking gun
I know I’m ready, ready for the fall

Hey fellas come quickly
Hey fellas look what we have here
I found him yes I found him
Sleeping underneath this fallen tree
I knew I could smell him
No fucking rat can hide from me
I’ll make him die slowly
I’ll spill his blood between my teeth
Your day has come winter wolf
Your day has come
You’re finally at our mercy
You’ve finally met your end
Your day has come winter wolf
Your day has come
You’re finally at our mercy
You’ve finally met your end
He’s sleeping yes he’s sleeping
Should we wake him up or just get done
He stayed hidden for so long
Like a little devil on the run
I know we can take him
Let’s wake him then he’ll understand
A thief gets no mercy
A coward dies within our hands
Your day has come winter wolf
Your day has come
You’re finally at our mercy
You’ve finally met your end
Your day has come winter wolf
Your day has come
You’re finally at our mercy
You’ve finally met your end
I’ll nudge him yes I’ll nudge him
He hasn’t eaten in a week
He must be so weak now
He must be craving for some meat
He’s waking yes he’s waking
Hey fucker don’t you understand
The 3 of us will kill you now
For intruding on our land
Your day has come winter wolf
Your day has come
You’re finally at our mercy
You’ve finally met your end
Your day has come winter wolf
Your day has come
You’re finally at our mercy
You’ve finally met your end

CAST AWAY THE DEVIL
THE DEVIL COMES IN MANY FORMS
SOMETIMES HE WEARS A UNIFORM
OR MAYBE HE JUST WEARS A SUIT AND TIE.....THE DEVIL HIDES BEHIND A WALL
SOMETIMES UNDER THE CELLER DOOR
BUT MOSTLY HE JUST HIDES IN PLAIN SIGHT
WHEN THE MIDNIGHT CANDLE BURNS
THE DEVIL COMES TO PLAY
WHEN THE MIDNIGHT CANDLE BURN
YOU GOTTA CHASE HIM AWAY
OOH BABY CAST AWAY THE DEVIL CHASE HIM AWAY
IOOH BABY CAST AWAY THE DEVIL
CHASE HIM AWAY CHASE HIM TODAY
AND EVERYONE WILL BE ALRIGHT
THE DEVIL COMES AND THEN HE GOES
HE TAKES YOUR HOME AND HE TAKES YOUR CLOTHES HE DRINKS YOUR WINE
THEN HE BREAKS YOUR NOSE
HE AINT EASY HE’S VERY CRASS
HE STICKS HIS PITCHFORK UP YER ASS
HE STEALS YOUR MONEY
THEN HE TRIES TO TAKE YOUR SOUL
WHEN THE MIDNIGHT CANDLE BURNS
THE DEVIL COMES TO PLAY
WHEN THE MIDNIGHT CANDLE BURN
YOU GOTTA CHASE HIM AWAY
OOH BABY CAST AWAY THE DEVIL CHASE HIM AWAY
OOH BABY CAST AWAY THE DEVIL
CHASE HIM AWAY CHASE HIM TODAY
AND EVERYONE WILL BE ALRIGHT
LOOK OUT EVERBODY
LOOK OUT EVERYONE
THE DEVIL ALWAYS COOKS THE BOOKS
HE BOUNCES CHECKS AND HANGS WITH
CROOKS AND PICKS YOUR POCKET
HITS YOU WHEN YOUR DOWN
THE DEVIL LIVES INSIDE A CRYPT
LOOKS LIKE A VAMPIRE IN THE MIST
