When the sun goes down You come sneakin' around my door You got me on the ropes And I can't take any more All through the daytime you're there Pushing and a-shovin' me around Sometime I wonder if I will ever survive Needs must the devil drives Try as I might I never seem to get ahead When the rooster crows I've already left my bed Mayhem in the traffic Another truck rolls over on its side Then the banker calls and tells me I'm taking a dive Needs must the devil drives Life is an automatic pay as you go You won't get too far If you ain't got no dough Weighed down in debt Your chips been fried Ain't no place to run and nowhere to hide Needs must the devil drives When the sun goes down You come sneakin' around my door You got me on the ropes And I can't take any more All through the daytime you're there Pushin' and a-shovin' me around Sometimes I wonder if I will ever survive Needs must the devil drives
