The Devil Plays For Keeps
I meet a woman walking down the street
Asked me to buy her something to eat
As we sat there, she began to cry
Oh, let me tell you about my life
I was a mother
I was a wife
The world came by
And I caught a ride
I lost my babies
I cry through the night
The man I love now has a new bride
I never dreamed this was how it would be
I never thought it could happen to me
I'm naked, and now the whole world sees
I found out the Devil Plays for keeps
He plays for keeps
He plays for keeps
I meet a man
With his head bowed down
Lying there crying on the cold hard ground
On the cold hard ground
He lifted his eye, and he began to speak
Oh, let me tell you what happened to me
I was a preacher
I had a good wife
A woman came by, and she stole my mind I lost my family, and the church is gone
I'm lying here dying in the devil's arms
I never dreamed this was how it would be
I never thought it could happen to me
I'm naked, and now the whole world sees
I found out the devil plays for keeps
I found out the devil plays for keeps
The devil plays for keeps
Asked me to buy her something to eat
As we sat there, she began to cry
Oh, let me tell you about my life
I was a mother
I was a wife
The world came by
And I caught a ride
I lost my babies
I cry through the night
The man I love now has a new bride
I never dreamed this was how it would be
I never thought it could happen to me
I'm naked, and now the whole world sees
I found out the Devil Plays for keeps
He plays for keeps
He plays for keeps
I meet a man
With his head bowed down
Lying there crying on the cold hard ground
On the cold hard ground
He lifted his eye, and he began to speak
Oh, let me tell you what happened to me
I was a preacher
I had a good wife
A woman came by, and she stole my mind I lost my family, and the church is gone
I'm lying here dying in the devil's arms
I never dreamed this was how it would be
I never thought it could happen to me
I'm naked, and now the whole world sees
I found out the devil plays for keeps
I found out the devil plays for keeps
The devil plays for keeps
