lyrics

Way Down (where that devil be)

If you go down where the water flows
Way down where the fire glows
Then you’ll know what the rest can’t see
Way down deep, is where that devil be

I have prayed for most everything
And I have paid for my daddy’s sins
But I’ve been lost for so damn long
Now that devil comes to sing my song

I have dreamed and I have toiled
I have tried to make life worthwhile
But I’ll not sleep nor will I cry
When that devil comes is the day I die

Now I’ve got coins for the Maker
It seems my soul is there for the takin’
And my ghosts, they won’t bother me
Way down deep is where you’ll find me
Way down deep where that devil be

Way down deep where that devil be
