The Devil Is All Around

When the devil is all around and got you crawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees with an apple in your mouth
You will know how far you’ll go to make your peace with God
I got wasted, and I sat around the fire all day
See if I could find someone to make love to And I barely even noticed how the fibers did tear away
From the fabric of my being
But nobody knows it like you do, babe, nobody knows it like you do Nobody knows it like you do, babe, the lengths we will go to
I’m going down a long road, maybe it’s the wrong road
Either way I got to find my way back home again
Well, it’s too late to turn back now, gotta get the lead on out
Gotta find someway to make it right on But nobody knows it like you do, babe, nobody knows it like you do Nobody knows it like you do, babe, the lengths we will go to There must be some other way, I just don’t know
Gotta get myself back up on that high road
But nobody knows it like you do So I’m gonna be a good man, gonna do the best I can
Though I’m a shell of the man that I once was
And if I find forgiveness in the eyes of God
It’ll be hard won, I assure you
Oh, when the devil is all around and got you crawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees with an apple in your mouth
You will know how far you’ll go to make your peace with God
Yeah, you will know how far you’ll go to make your peace with God
