Those were the years
that I lived along the downslope
Those were the years
that I watched the pilgrim
s come and go
Some were buried, some were wasted
by their loved ones
Some drove pickup trucks,
possessions naked to the sky
I wasn't drawn to let them fascinate,
no fuck on me
I wasn't drawn, their calls,
I tried to shook their blame
You can count on one hand
those of whom I asked
to share my home
And you can count on one hand
and I'll watch you carry on alone
When I live along, when I live along,
when I live along
The devil's road, the devil's road,
the devil's road
And from his pocket came a sheath
and from that sheath a knife
When I lived along,
when I lived along,
when I lived along
the devil's road, the devil's road,
the devil's road.
The way that we did through the night
and then the morning came
My burdens lifted,
all my arrogance numbed by the pain
My foot is lifted
as I walked onto the devil's road
My t -shirt bandaged
and I caught the bus right to the coast
When I lived alone, huh
When I lived alone, huh
When I lived alone
The devil's road, the devil's road,
the devil's road
The devil's road, the devil's road,
the devil's road
Come and take me home
you
