"Devil By His Side" lyrics - JERRY CANTRELL

JERRY CANTRELL
"Devil By His Side"

Clear on the road tonight
Headlamps shine on the one-way signs
I try to clear my head
Of thoughts better left unsaid

[Refrain:]
Runnin' down an old, elusive high
One more time

The wind upon my face
No one here for to block my way
I wake the setting sun
Bullet shot by a thoughtful gun

[Refrain:]
Runnin' down an old, elusive high

[Chorus:]
Did I lose you?
Oh, friend of mine
Is it in your hardened heart to
Trust me one more time?
See, I'm tryin' to shake that same
Devil from my side
Always watchin' me, yeah
Laughing while I cry, while I cry

[Refrain:]
Gunnin' down an old, elusive high
One more time

Clear on the road tonight
Headlamps shine on the mileage signs
Not much further to go
I laugh and I'm almost home

[Refrain:]
Gunnin' down an old, elusive high

[Chorus:]
Did I lose you?
Oh, friend of mine
Is it in your hardened heart to
Trust me one more time?
See, I'm tryin' to shake that old
Devil from my side
Always taunting me, yeah
Laughing while I cry, while I cry

[Outro:]
Runnin' down an old, elusive high
One more time
One more time
