every time the devil knocks - black iris lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well i’ve tried and tried with all my might
to do the best i can
to walk back straight and narrow
and be a faithful man

[chorus]
but every time the devil knocks
i can’t help but let him in the door
i know i done you wrong
and you don’t want me anymore

[verse 2]
and what may sound like wild and foolish schemes
are just a poor man’s hopes and dreams
when all is said and done it seems
that luck ain’t on my side

[verse 3]
and so i’ve cried and cried and swallowed pride
but still, it will not stay
there ain’t no straight and narrow
when death trumps your pay

[chorus]
so every time the devil knocks
please forgive and understand
i wager my last dollar
for the whiskey in my hand
[instrumental bridge]

[verse 4]
and what may sound like wild and foolish schemes
are just a poor man’s hopes and dreams
when all is said and done it seems
that luck ain’t on my side

[verse 5]
and if my wild and foolish schemes
were just a poor man’s hopes and dreams
i’ll take my bow, played my hand
but the devil calls it in the end
