Shovels & Rope - The Devil Is All Around lyrics

When the devil is all around and got you crawling on the ground On your hands and your knees with an apple in your mouth You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god I got wasted and I sat around the fire all day See if I could find someone to make love to I barely even noticed how the fibers did tear away From the fabric of my being And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to I’m going down a long road, maybe it's the wrong road But either way I gotta find my way back home again It's too late to turn back now, gotta get the lead on out Gotta find some way to make it right on And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to There must be some other way, I just don't know Gotta get myself back up on that high road But nobody knows that like you do So I'm gonna be a good man, gonna do the best I can Though I'm a shell of the man that I once was And if I find forgiveness in the eyes of god It will be hard won, I a**ure you When the devil is all around and got you crawling on the ground On your hands and your knees with and apple in your mouth You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god Yeah, you will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god
