The Marshall Tucker Band - Tell It To The Devil lyrics

I can't stand to see a grown man Hit a little kid Or get cussed out for somethin' Not even knowin' what he did See a man any man Messin' 'round with your best friend's wife Or sit helpless in the corner And watch a man drink away his life I'm gonna clean up my soul lord You don't owe me no back pay I'm gonna tell that to the devil When I see him today Walked to a graveyard May they all rest in peace I wish they could all go to heaven I bet two did at least Someone that don't feel sorry For the helpless and the blind Kinda makes you wanna pick up the bible And memorize every single line I'm gonna clean up my soul lord You don't owe me no back pay I'm gonna tell that to the devil When I see him today See a man walk by a beggar With an empty tin cup Kinda makes you wanna grab him By the back of the neck Knock him down and never pick him up I'm gonna clean up my soul lord You don't owe me no back pay I'm gonna tell that to the devil When I see him today I'm gonna tell that to the devil When I see him today
