  • I met the devil on the side of the road one day
    He said "how do you do?"
    I said it's hard to say
    So he smiled at me with a wicked grin
    He reached into his coat and then
    He gave me a bottle full of something sweet
    Said I'll fill it up every time we meet

    Oh mama the way that I'm livin
    Lyin' and a sinnin' and I just change
    Oh mama the way that I'm livin
    If I ever get to heaven it's a doggone shame

    One little drop is all it took
    To get my name in his book
    Now I sleep all day and I'm out all night
    And I can't tell wrong from right
    You know I'd change if I could
    But being bad, it feels so good

    Oh mama the way that I'm livin
    Lyin and a sinnin and I just change
    Oh mama the way that I'm livin
    If I ever get to heaven it's a doggone shame

    On the day I die when they lay me down
    I know where my soul is bound
    And don't you cry, and don't you weep
    Cause it's too late to rescue me
    If you see the devil com in your way
    Get down on your knees
    And start to pray

    Oh mama the way that I'm livin
    Lyin and a sinnin and I just change
    Oh mama the way that I'm livin
    If I ever get to heaven it's a doggone shame Writer/s: ADAM WRIGHT
