The Devil and Me Songtext
von Ira Wolf

They told me that my life is headed for the devil,
So I asked them, "what′s a life if you're living like you′re dead?"
They started praying, they were saying, "well we hope you'll be forgiven."
And even though I listened, I never heard a word they said.

Guess I was born to be a sinner, I was born to be free.
I was born to dance on two left feet.

So I kept on walking, I started talking with the devil,
And I asked them "what's a life if you live it like you′re dead."
He took my soul and he washed it in a whiskey river.
I took his hand, we stood back, and watched the banks turn red.


′Cause I was born to be a sinner, I was born to be free.
I was born to dance on two left feet.
And raised up to be the rebel, I was made with a little bit of fire, you see.
I guess it's always been the devil and me.

If I hear those angels singing my song, well I′ll shiver
'Cause I know they won′t be coming here for anybody else.
But I won't pray, I′ve made my grave and I'll sleep in it.
If there's a heaven, Lord, I′m headed straight for hell.

′Cause I was born to be a sinner, I was born to be free.
I was born to dance on two left feet.
Raised up to be the rebel, I was blind but now I see
I guess it's always been, the devil and me.
