The Way I’m Livin'

I met the devil on the side of the road one day He said “how do you do?” I said it’s hard to say So he smiled at me with a wicked grin He reached into his coat and then He gave me a bottle full of something sweet Said I’ll fill it up every time we meet Oh mama the way that I’m livin Lyin’ and a sinnin’ and I just change Oh mama the way that I’m livin If I ever get to heaven it’s a doggone shame One little drop is all it took To get my name in his book Now I sleep all day and I’m out all night And I can’t tell wrong from right You know I’d change if I could But being bad, it feels so good Oh mama the way that I’m livin Lyin and a sinnin and I just change Oh mama the way that I’m livin If I ever get to heaven it’s a doggone shame On the day I die when they lay me down I know where my soul is bound And don’t you cry, and don’t you weep Cause it’s too late to rescue me If you see the devil com in your way Get down on your knees And start to pray Oh mama the way that I’m livin Lyin and a sinnin and I just change Oh mama the way that I’m livin If I ever get to heaven it’s a doggone shame
