Woke up this morning some time around 3 a.m.

Dripping wet, beads of sweat rolling down my skin

Lately I can't sleep, I got hell on my mind

Running on empty, Lord, I'm running dry



Sometimes the temptation is just too much to bear

Its just too much whiskey and girls with long dark hair

I know I should pay my tab and call a cab back home

But I hate to sleep alone



I hear them coming, trying to take my soul away

Making deals with the devil, now its time to pay

I keep on running, pray my heart don't turn to black

Can't shake the devil off my back



I'll fight the good fight til the very end

Gonna climb that mountain with all of my friends

When I get to the top gonna turn around and yell

'Devil go back to hell'



I hear them coming, trying to take my soul away

Making deals with the devil, now its time to pay

I keep on running, pray my heart don't turn to black

Can't shake the devil off my back



I hear them coming, trying to take my soul away

Making deals with the devil, now its time to pay

I keep on running, pray my heart don't turn to black

Can't shake the devil off my back



Devil off my back

Devil off my back

Devil off my back

Can't shake the devil...
