Alan Jackson - Between The Devil And Me

(harley allen/carson chamberlin)



This world can take you by the hand

And tempt the soul of any man

But you can choose your path

There’s two roads you can take

One way is right and one is wrong

The flesh is weak but love is strong

And she’s all I see

Vetween the devil and me



The gates of hell swing open

Wide invitin’ me to stop inside

I’ll be your friend he calls

Again, I know it’s him

The flames are spreadin everywhere

But through the smoke

I see her there

She’s all I see

Between the devil and me



I hold her in my arms tonight

So safe and warm I close my eyes

And a cool breeze blows

’cross our bodies in the dark

Outside her reach is my concern

Somewhere I know a fire burns

And she’s all I see

Between the devil and me



The gates of hell swing open

Wide invitin’ me to stop inside

I’ll be your friend he calls

Again, I know it’s him

The flames are spreadin everywhere

But through the smoke

I see her there

She’s all I see

Between the devil and me



The gates of hell swing open

Wide invitin’ me to step inside

She’s all I see

Between the devil and me
