Devil walks behind you   Sneakin' ever ready to steal your world away   No matter what you mean to   He'll have you saying things you really should not say      It's not that I'm a bad man   Had my good intentions just like all the rest   But when he gets behind you   It's hard to see for real it's hard to know what's best      But just 'cause I missed it   No need to get all bitter 'n twisted      Pocket full of promises   But promises don't buy your things or pay your way   I had it my palm girl   Now there's just an empty hand down there today      But just 'cause I missed it   No need to get all bitter 'n twisted   I said just 'cause I missed it   No need to get all bitter 'n twisted      I tried to walk the straight line   Tried to pass the swingin' door on my way home   I thought about the good things   Then I thought about the bad things too and was undone      I miss my wife and kids now   Miss all the little things we used to do and say   Devil walks behind you   Sneakin' ever ready to steal your soul away      But just 'cause I missed it   No need to get all bitter 'n twisted   I said just 'cause I missed it   No need to get all bitter 'n twisted
