Letra The devil is all around Shovels And Rope

The devil is all around

When the devil is all around and got you crawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees with an apple in your mouth
You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god

I got wasted and I sat around the fire all day
See if I could find someone to make love to
I barely even noticed how the fibers did tear away
From the fabric of my being

And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do
Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to

I'm going down a long road, maybe it's the wrong road
But either way I gotta find my way back home again
It's too late to turn back now, gotta get the lead on out
Gotta find some way to make it right on

And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do
Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to

There must be some other way, I just don't know
Gotta get myself back up on that high road
But nobody knows that like you do

So I'm gonna be a good man, gonna do the best I can
Though I'm a shell of the man that I once was
And if I find forgiveness in the eyes of god
It will be hard won, I assure you

When the devil is all around and got you crawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees with and apple in your mouth
You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god
Yeah, you will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god
