My girl´s tired of the slum life, she don´t want to hustle no more

She´s dead set on the finer things in life and won´t waste her time

With me no more

My baby girl calls another man her daddy, I wasn´t around to see her grow

It´s hard as hell to see her with another family

But I chose the Devil´s road, I´ve gone and took the Devil´s road

Cold sweats, it’s the booze I hate myself

Won´t see your kids, your marriage´s gone to shit

but that’s the price you pay when you´re on the Devil´s road

I´m not welcome in my father´s house, I wouldn´t bend a knee

Now he´s all old and weak and I ain´t no kid

It won´t be long before I take it all for me, I´m going to take it all for me

Cold sweats, it’s the booze I hate myself

Won´t see your kids, your marriage´s gone to shit

but that’s the price you pay when you´re on the Devil´s road

If I may fall in a foreign land and the Lord wants to call me home

Burn me to a crisp like my damned soul and you scatter me on that fucking road

You throw me on that Devil´s road

Cold sweats, it’s the booze I hate myself

Won´t see your kids, your marriage´s gone to shit

but that’s the price you pay when you´re on the Devil´s road

You´ve got no business being on the Devil´s road

There´s a price to pay on the Devil´s road
