Cabin Fever - Devil Is a Friend Lyrics

Well, when I was a boy, my momma left home
Woke up one morning, me and daddy was alone
Daddy was left full of hurt and spite
Told me"Boy, I'm gonna raise you right"
Said"The Lord might take you by the hand
But the Devil is a friend of the workin' man"
His eyes were hard, and his hands were rough
No need to eat if he just drank enough
Took me out each night and showed me his ways
Showed me how to fight and which cards to play
And with each passing night, I could understand
This wasn't no road to the promised land
He told me"Pray and pray 'til your knees are sore
'Til the day that you forget what you were praying for
Don't wait for things that ain't happened yet
'Cause the hand you got's the only one you're gonna get
Gotta get by any way we can
And boy, the Devil is a friend of the workin' man
There ain't no"Sunday best" in my bottom drawer
Sunday morning I recover from the night before
And these fists have thrown a punch or two
But if you don't cross me, I won't cross you
And if you'd lived my life you would understand
That the Devil is a friend of the workin' man
Said the Lord might take you by the hand, but he ain't gonna take us to the promised land
And if you lived my life you would understand that the Devil is a friend of the workin' man
Said the Lord might take you by the hand, but he ain't gonna take us to the promised land
And if you lived my life you would understand that the Devil is a friend of the workin' man
Said the Lord might take you by the hand, but he ain't gonna take us to the promised land
And if you lived my life you would understand that the Devil is a friend of the workin' man
Said the Lord might take you by the hand, but he ain't gonna take us to the promised land
And if you lived my life you would understand that the Devil is a friend of the workin' man
