When I was young
I was told
Don't look for sunshine
Go dig for gold
I plead for truth
I won't change my mind
And now that the rain has gone
There's no place left to hide
I've got the devil on my shoulder and he follows me
I've got a monkey on my back I just can't beat you know that
I'll come running when trouble calls my name
Oh lord forgive me am I to blame am I to blame
I've been locked up in chains
And I can't break loose
There's a hole in my heart
Where there rain seeps through and I
Won't stop running
Till I see the sun rise
We're gonna make it back
Dead or alive
I've got the devil on my shoulder and he follows me
I've got a monkey on my back I just can't beat you know that
I'll come running when trouble calls my name
Oh lord forgive me am I to blame am I to blame
Sometimes I wake up in the dead of the night
I see the fear in your eyes and it burns so bright
Sometimes I wake up in the dead of the night
I see the fear in your eyes and it burns
I've got the devil on my shoulder and he follows me
I've got a monkey on my back I just can't beat you know that
I'll come running when trouble calls my name
Oh lord forgive me am I to blame am I to blame
