Only the Lonely Devil Knows

You will take the high road

I will take the low

You will take the high road home

I will take the low road where it goes

Whether our roads ever

Gonna meet again someday

Only the devil only knows

Morning took the high road

Evening hung in dark

Morning high on dandelion wine

And old man evening drunk on stars

Stumbling down the long dusty night

Don't one of us know where we are

Strung along the wire

Chopping through the pine

Strung along like telephone pole wire

Moving ever down the line

Where the heavens meet horizons in her eyes

I'm going my one true love to find

She has took the high road

I have wandered far

She has took the high road off somewhere

And left me to the dark

I have had to make a deal to get her back

You send the devil my regards

You will take the high road my dear

You know that I can't take it slow

You will go the high road rolling home

I'll only crawl along the road

I will pray I have not done this all in vain

But that old devil only knows

I will pray I have not done this all in vain

Only the devil really knows

I will pray I have not done this all in vain

Only the lonely devil knows
