[verse 1]

On the straight and arrow, tryna shoot like an arrow

And standin' on the street tonight

Stone cold sober and feelin' worked over

While the moon starts to shine so bright

I can feel it in my heart

I can feel it in my bones

I'm going out but I ain't goin' alone

All I gotta do is [?] that you're home

And everything will be alright

[Chorus]

But if I could

I would drink until the whole world ends

It ain't good

But I'd go out and I'd run with you my friend

If I could

I would do it all and do it all again

I try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins

I try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins

[verse 2]

Just barely made it, I hate to say it

But half the time I'm just hanging on

Thinkin' rest in peace, six feet deep

To all my good friends past and gone

Yeah I heard what thе good book said

But don't push me when I'm close to thе edge

I gotta let these ghosts out of my head

Then maybe we can make it through

[Chorus]

But if I could

I would drink until the whole world ends

It ain't good

But I'd go out and I'd run with you my friend

If I could

I would do it all and do it all again

I try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins

I try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins

[bridge]

The Devil wins (try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins)

The Devil wins (try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins)

Try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins

[verse 3]

I try to stand up straight before it's too late

For my brother who has moved on

He said I wasted so much time

I just feel like I've done everything wrong

Do I look like an angel man I'm tellin' you

It's all that I could do now just to try to be true

It's like the eye of a needle that I'm passin' through

I'm 'bout as easy as they say in the songs

[Chorus]

But if I could

I would drink until the whole world ends

It ain't good

But I'd go out and I'd run with you my friend

If I could

I would do it all and do it all again

Try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins

But if I could

I would drink until the whole world ends

It ain't good

But I'd go out and I'd run with you my friend

If I could

I would do it all and do it all again

Try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins

Try so hard but sometimes the Devil wins
