Flatland Cavalry - Devil off My Back lyrics

[Verse 1] Woke up this morning some time around 3 a.m Dripping wet, beads of sweat rolling down my skin Lately I can't sleep, I got hell on my mind Running on empty, Lord, I'm running dry [Verse 2] Sometimes the temptation is just too much to bear Its just too much whiskey and girls with long dark hair I know I should pay my tab and call a cab back home But I hate to sleep alone [Chorus] I hear them coming, trying to take my soul away Making deals with the devil, now it's time to pay I keep on running, pray my heart don't turn to black Can't shake the devil off my back [Verse 3] I'll fight the good fight til the very end Gonna climb that mountain with all of my friends When I get to the top gonna turn around and yell 'Devil go back to hell' [Chorus] I hear them coming, trying to take my soul away Making deals with the devil, now it's time to pay I keep on running, pray my heart don't turn to black Can't shake the devil off my back I hear them coming, trying to take my soul away Making deals with the devil, now it's time to pay I keep on running, pray my heart don't turn to black Can't shake the devil off my back [Outro] Devil off my back Devil off my back Devil off my back Can't shake the devil...
