Devil's Backbone
Oh Lord, oh Lord
What have I done?
I've fallen in love with a man on the run
Oh Lord, oh Lord
I'm begging you, please
Don't take that sinner from me
Oh, don't take that sinner from me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
What do I do?
I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you
He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone
Oh, I just wanna take him home
Oh, I just wanna take him home
Oh Lord, oh Lord
He's somewhere between
A hanged man's knot and three mouths to feed
There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose
He did what he had to do
Oh, he did what he had to do
Give me the burden, give me the blame
I'll shoulder the load, and I'll swallow the shame
Give me the burden, give me the blame
How many, how many Hail Marys is this gonna take?
Don't care if he's guilty
Don't care if he's not
He's good and he's bad and he's all that I've got
Oh Lord, oh Lord
I'm begging you, please
Don't take that sinner from me
Oh, don't take that sinner from me
What have I done?
I've fallen in love with a man on the run
Oh Lord, oh Lord
I'm begging you, please
Don't take that sinner from me
Oh, don't take that sinner from me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
What do I do?
I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you
He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone
Oh, I just wanna take him home
Oh, I just wanna take him home
Oh Lord, oh Lord
He's somewhere between
A hanged man's knot and three mouths to feed
There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose
He did what he had to do
Oh, he did what he had to do
Give me the burden, give me the blame
I'll shoulder the load, and I'll swallow the shame
Give me the burden, give me the blame
How many, how many Hail Marys is this gonna take?
Don't care if he's guilty
Don't care if he's not
He's good and he's bad and he's all that I've got
Oh Lord, oh Lord
I'm begging you, please
Don't take that sinner from me
Oh, don't take that sinner from me
