[Verse 1] This is the story of a time in life When I went down the devil's highway A time in life when I found it hard To keep the oncoming wolves at bay [Verse 2] A wise man told me don't play with d**h But I cut myself, just the same And now the cursed scars that still remain Are what keeps this man totally insane [Chorus 1] Devil's highway Self destruction (Devil's highway) Just a casualty of this (Devil's highway) Devil's highway (Devil's highway) Drives a good man insane [Verse 3 See I've been called a dropkick And a loser in someone else's game But when I get my chance to make a move I'm gonna make it to your hall of fame [Verse 4] A friend of mine he'll cheat me this time But I've kept a few tricks up my sleeve And now the stories tattooed on my skin Are what keeps this man going the right way [Chorus 2] Devil's highway I'm wearing the crown of devils (Devil's highway) Thorn sticking in my eyes (Devil's highway) Devil's highway (Devil's highway) Keeps a good man insane [Bridge] [Verse 5] Lucky card, I'm gonna roll the dice Without ever stopping and thinking (twice) [Chorus 1] Keeps a good man insane
