Stand too close to fire you’ll get burned
Forgetting every lesson you’ve learned
Losing grip on everything you’ve earned
Is this the way you thought it’d turn
All you taste is whisky and mistakes
Every part of your body aches
He pushes you around until you break
How much more can you take
CHORUS
Nothing more dangerous than a man who’s lost his his shadow
He’s got nothing left to lose
Next time he drinks too much and he’s pushing you to new lows
He’ll blame it on the booze
Blame it on the booze
It’s unwise to linger over dreams
When you find life isn’t what it seems
You can end up going to extremes
Will your ends justify your means
CHORUS
BRIDGE
How long til he hits you
Will you wait here to find out
I can come and help you
If you just give me a shout
END CHORUS
Nothing more dangerous than a woman pushed to new lows
She’s got nothing left to lose
Next time he drinks too much we’ll help him join his shadow
And we’ll blame it on the booze
Blame it on the booze
Blame it on the booze

Devil's Try

Hard times are bleeding me
I can’t help but feeling down
The only thing that’s left for me
Is the bottle and it's gone now
The Devil said he’d drink with me
Just as long as I got the tab
Hard times are bleeding me
I can’t help but feeling down
Ain't got nowhere to run to
Ain't got nowhere to call my home
The only thing that’s left for me
is the bottle and it's gone now
The devil said he’d drink with me
just as long as I got the tab
CHORUS
The devil said he’d drink with me
The devil said he’d drink with me
The devil said he’d drink with me
Just as long as I got the tab
The devils got it in for me
The devils got it in for me
The devils got it in for me
But he’ll just have to Stand in line
Got one foot in the grave
And the other foot pressed hard on the gas
If you live too fast you die too young
And the whiskey lord won’t ya keep it comin
I’d sell my soul if the price was right
to the first one who threw down their cash
The devil’s got it in for me
But he’ll just have to stand in line
CHORUS
The devil said he’d drink with me
The devil said he’d drink with me
The devil said he’d drink with me
Just as long as I got the tab
The devils got it in for me
The devils got it in for me
The devils got it in for me
But he’ll just have to stand in line
