Daddy and the Devil

Daddy and the devil walk side by side
 Me and momma, we tried to hide
 He couldn't stay sober if he tried
 Daddy and the devil walked side by side
 The devil had a hold on daddy's hand
 He never had a straight and narrow plan
 Down a dark and deadend road they ran
 The devil had a hold on daddy's hand
 He took his soul and he took his pride
 But the devil still ain't satisfied
 We all cried the day he died
 Daddy and the devil walked side by side
 Daddy and the devil were the best of friends
 We all know that story's end
 But it's the son who pays for the father's sins
 Daddy and the devil were the best of friends
 Well, he took his soul and he took his pride
 But the devil still ain't satisfied
 We all cried the day he died
 Daddy and the devil walked side by side
 Years gone by and I'm a full grown man
 It took a lot of living to understand
 How a good man falls for the devil's plans
 The devil had a hold on daddy's hand
 Well, he took his soul and he took his pride
 No, the devil still ain't satisfied
 Yeah, and we all cried the day he died
 Daddy and the devil walked side by side
 Daddy and the devil walked side by side
