Between the Devil and Me

(Harley Allen - Carson Chamberlain)



This world can take you by the hand

And tempt the soul of any man

You can choose your path

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 between the devil and me.



The gates of hell swing open wide

Invitin' me to step 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

She's all I see between the devil and me.



The gates of hell swing open wide

Invitin' me to step inside

I'll be your friend, he calls again, I know it's him

The flames are spreadin' everywhere

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...
