Lyrics

DEVIL IN ME

I'VE BEEN RUNNING FROM THE LAW SINCE THE DAY THAT I COULD RIDE
DOIN' WHAT I TO JUST TO SURVIVE
I'VE GOT POSSE ON MY TRAIL AND A BOUNTY ON MY HEAD
POSTER SAYS DEAD OR ALIVE BUT THEY'D HAVE TO TAKE ME DEAD

I ROBBED A BANK IN CARSON CITY ON THE 23RD OF MAY
I SHOT WANNABE HERO CAUSE HE GOT IN MY WAY
I DIDN'T WANT TO PULL THE TRIGGER BUT THAT FOOL WOULDN'T LEAVE ME BE
THEY FORGOTTEN ABOUT HIM BUT THEY SURE REMEMBER ME

CHORUS
IF HEAVEN IS A PLACE
THEN HELL'S A STATE OF MIND
WHERE ME AND DEVIL WE GET ALONG JUST FINE
HE'S THERE IN THE MIRROR THROUGH HIS EYES I SEE
THAT FOOL WAS JUST A VICTIM OF THE DEVIL IN ME

I MET A GIRL IN ARIZONA WHO WAS HALF BLOOD CHEROKEE
SAID SHE'D FOUND THE LORD AND THOUGHT SHE COULD SAVE ME
SHE FOLLOWED ME TO NEW MEXICO BUT THINGS TURNED FROM BAD TO WORSE
CAUSE A BULLET THAT WAS MEANT FOR ME FOUND HER FIRST

CHORUS
SHE WAS JUST ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE DEVIL IN ME

THEY CAUGHT UP TO ME IN TEXAS ON THE MIGHTY RIO GRANDE
MY CHOICE WAS SWIM TO FREEDOM OR STOP AND MAKE A STAND
SHOT'S RANG OUT LIKE THUNDER FROM THAT VALLEY FAR BELOW
THEY STOPPED ME DEAD A STONES THROW FROM THE SHORES OF MEXICO

CHORUS
I'M JUST ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE DEVIL IN ME

good overall track great vocal and instrumentation . doesn't remind me of any other artist , which is good , has his own tone.

WOW just fantastic! I can see some seriously awesome things in your future! Keep doing what your doing cause your definitely doing it right!

Song explodes with that intro. 5 star performance by vocalist. Great lyrics, amazing story line, memorable hook, stellar performance. Tight band, fantastic guitar licks, loved the drummer. All the players did an terrific job. Whoever wrote the song is a heavy hitter. This song would probably go over big with a tough biker crowd. This is one of the most skillfully written and performed country songs I have heard on Broadjam.

I really like the lead vocals and the lead guitar, nice drums as well.

I loved this! You had an old school country rock Vibe. I liked the pace of it , and you did a good job with the arrangement. The guitar playing was very good. That was a very good hook as well.

Great beat, great vox, excellent playing: this one really, really rocks - best country rock I've heard in a long time. Love the lyrics and the vocal feel/passion. Would be fabulous road-trip music, for sure - and there's no fault in this one at all. Excellent work all round. Dynamics, too. Ace! Love the drums in the last verse.

GREAT SONG about a man who revels in being an outlaw. The production rocks, the vocal is perfect, and a great guitar solo to boot. Love the lines in the chorus - "If heaven's a place then hell's a state of mind where me and the devil we get along just fine...".

Quality country classic. Guitar work , very good, vox sound great. Great work.

Sometime five stars just aint enough. And this song proves it. If you're going to tell me this song isn't a big hit on the country charts by now, I'd be hard pressed to believe you. Catchy, keen and hooky in all the right spots. And what about that walk in to the fine guitar solo? Whew, this thing is big time. More, more!

It flows very well and it's a pleasant listen. Very well playsed, sung and recorded. I sense a certain amount of work on the lyrics.
