I don't run from guilt you see
My conscience lets me know
At least a thousand times or better everyday
Things I've done mistakes I've made
Raised feelings I'll lay in some grave
If ever I am finally laid to rest
If there is time to pray before I die I pray Dear Lord
You know that I was a righteous man
That somehow lost his way
Face me down when I shall pass
Just so the world can kiss my ass
And hell can't come get me from behind
I've danced in the flames and I've been burned
I've walked on the harder side of life
Of taking all the wrong turns
I've been around I've been down And I've been wasted
I fight with myself sometimes I lose
I got me an angel on my shoulder but I got the devil too
I get down I get around And I get wasted
Twenty-seven years along
I've tried to make them right all wrong
And I've nearly died a few times on my way
I've seen the face of God first hand
I've danced with the devil man
I've needed help grabbed for both their hands
I've danced in the flames and I've been burned
I've walked on the harder side of life
Of taking all the wrong turns
I've been around I've been down And I've been wasted
I fight with myself sometimes I lose
I got me an angel on my shoulder but I got the devil too
I get down I get around And I get wasted
I fight with myself sometimes I lose
I got me an angel on my shoulder
But I got the devil too
I get down I get around And I get wasted
I don't run from guilt you see
My conscience lets know
At least a thousand times or better every day
