Devil on My Left

Drinking whiskey like water and breathing cigarette

If there a way to stop thinking I ain't found it yet

And the angel on my right she ain't posing no threat

To the devil on my left he ain't letting me forget

It's hard to see the stars when you're face down on the lawn

I passed out by midnight had my first beer at dawn

I can't find my keys and my wallet is gone

But the devil on my left he just keeps holding on

I keep trying to find answers through hard livin' and drink

A bartenders tips are cheaper than a shrink

Tried closing my eyes so I don't have to think

But the devil on my left he ain't sleeping a wink

Everything happens for a reason they say

But I've never believed that and still don't today

Some try to find proof when they kneel down and pray

But the devil on my left he don't see it that way

The devil on my left he ain't going away

The devil on my left just keeps leading the way
