The Devil Is All Around - Shovels & Rope

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
