Trying Like The Devil

Well that golden halo doesn't go so well

With my red bandana and blue jeans

God knows when I'm good, I'm good

And when I'm good is seldom so it seems

So they say fools play with fire

I'm trying my best not to get burned

While I soak myself in gasoline

One would think by now I might have learned

But I've never learned

No, I'm not the man they think I am

It weighs heavy on my heart and mind

As I stumble every step along the way

Like a wino who can't walk the line

It's like tightrope walking on a windy day

There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay

And I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand

Trying like the devil to be a good man

So beware of broken glass

Should you stare into the window of my soul

And judge me not, I only bare it all

So you know that you are not alone

You're not alone

No, I'm not the man they think I am

It weighs heavy on my heart and mind

As I stumble every step along the way

Like a wino who can't walk the line

Well I'm tightrope walking on a windy day

There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay

I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand

Trying like the devil to be a good man

Oh my God

Feed me the crumbs that fall upon your floor

As those saints walk through your pearly gates

Lord, let the sinner crawl through your backdoor

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

No, I'm not the man they think I am

It weighs heavy on my heart and mind

As I stumble every step along the way

Like a wino who can't walk the line

Well I'm tightrope walking on a windy day

There's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay

I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand

Trying like the devil to be a good man

I'm solid as a rock and sink in sand

Lord, I'm trying like the devil
