I don't run from guilt, you see
My conscience lets me know
At least a thousand times or better every day
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

27 years along
I've tried to make them right all wrong
And I'm nearly died a few times on my way
Well, I've seen the face of God first hand
I've danced with the devil, man
And I've needed help, grabbed for both their hands
I've danced in the flames, and I've been burned
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
