Why's the Devil Keep Pickin' -- Clean Rocky Blues |
LyricsI try to be a decent manLivin' clean and livin' right But I keep feelin' the devil's hand And I'm runnin' low... low on fight He beats me down, I get back up But that snake won't let me be I guess one round ain't hell enough Why's the devil keep pickin' on me Why's the devil keep pickin' on me Am I on his list of who needs misery Don't he know I'm not his kind And he'll never change my mind Why's the devil keep pickin' on me In my younger years, I was pretty wild Did a few things I regret And through sinner's tears, I wonder now Is he collecting on some old debt Why's the devil keep pickin' on me Am I on his list of who needs misery Don't he know I'm not his kind And he'll never change my mind Why's the devil keep pickin' on me My resolve might be wearin' thin But I refuse to let that hell hound win Why's the devil keep pickin' on me Am I on his list of who needs misery Don't he know I'm not his kind And he'll never change my mind Why's the devil keep pickin' on me |
