The Western (The Devil Is Me) - Live
A higher warning
On the morning
Of new years day
And I am moving west
This is my darkest holler
This is my beck and caller
This is what I must do to rest
Well I know that I can swing
A mighty might chain
Right here in the garden of a lion
But I know that I will say
Goodbye, goodbye someday
To the Devil and his weary mind
It took a while to catch my breath
It took a while to catch my breath
It took a while for me to see
That the devil, well the devil is me
I could stay here
All the day dear
But I must go now
'Cause I was headed west
I've heard that times are hard
I've seen the windows barred
In the valley of the shadow of death
Pockets sewn with line
Up against the tide
With glory drums and pistols firing
Hammer set and light
I will sleep the night
Upon your grave if you will sleep on mine
It took a while to catch my breath
It took a while to catch my breath
It took a while for me to see
That the devil, well the devil is me
I don't know that I can be
Took me a while to catch my breath
The devil is me
On the morning
Of new years day
And I am moving west
This is my darkest holler
This is my beck and caller
This is what I must do to rest
Well I know that I can swing
A mighty might chain
Right here in the garden of a lion
But I know that I will say
Goodbye, goodbye someday
To the Devil and his weary mind
It took a while to catch my breath
It took a while to catch my breath
It took a while for me to see
That the devil, well the devil is me
I could stay here
All the day dear
But I must go now
'Cause I was headed west
I've heard that times are hard
I've seen the windows barred
In the valley of the shadow of death
Pockets sewn with line
Up against the tide
With glory drums and pistols firing
Hammer set and light
I will sleep the night
Upon your grave if you will sleep on mine
It took a while to catch my breath
It took a while to catch my breath
It took a while for me to see
That the devil, well the devil is me
I don't know that I can be
Took me a while to catch my breath
The devil is me
