The Devil and I
I pulled myself from what was left of that beater's frame
I scratched the VIN and I ripped off the license plate
I poured some gasoline on top to cover up my shame
I watched the two things I loved most go up in flames
Sunburnt tongues, the songs they'd sung
Spat out spit and twisted up
Salt water, foam, a sea of grief
They spat out blood and broken teeth
The way she used to say my name
The way the light shined off her face
And I screamed
I looked for someone to blame
And I screamed, and I screamed
How could you? How could you?
How could you take her from me?
You coward, I'll kill you
I'll make you wish you never lived
I reached outward in shame
I looked for someone to blame
But there was no one to find
Just the Devil and I
I woke up in my room the next day
And I was alive
Sick and sober, without you by my side
And on the radio
Last night, on road 25
A car was found with a woman inside
Fractured spine and paralyzed
Set on fire and left to die
How could you? How could you?
How could you take her from me?
You coward, I'll kill you
I'll make you wish you never lived
I reached outward in shame
I looked for someone to blame
But there was no one to find
Just the Devil and I
How could you? How could you?
You coward, I'll kill you
I'll make you wish you never lived
I reached outward in shame
I looked for someone to blame
But there was no one to find
Just the Devil and I
I scratched the VIN and I ripped off the license plate
I poured some gasoline on top to cover up my shame
I watched the two things I loved most go up in flames
Sunburnt tongues, the songs they'd sung
Spat out spit and twisted up
Salt water, foam, a sea of grief
They spat out blood and broken teeth
The way she used to say my name
The way the light shined off her face
And I screamed
I looked for someone to blame
And I screamed, and I screamed
How could you? How could you?
How could you take her from me?
You coward, I'll kill you
I'll make you wish you never lived
I reached outward in shame
I looked for someone to blame
But there was no one to find
Just the Devil and I
I woke up in my room the next day
And I was alive
Sick and sober, without you by my side
And on the radio
Last night, on road 25
A car was found with a woman inside
Fractured spine and paralyzed
Set on fire and left to die
How could you? How could you?
How could you take her from me?
You coward, I'll kill you
I'll make you wish you never lived
I reached outward in shame
I looked for someone to blame
But there was no one to find
Just the Devil and I
How could you? How could you?
You coward, I'll kill you
I'll make you wish you never lived
I reached outward in shame
I looked for someone to blame
But there was no one to find
Just the Devil and I
