He said, hey mister, can you tell me how far a walk it is to the nearest barSo I can turn around and run the other wayI got a tendency to tie one onIf stupid was a shirt, my sleeves would be longI'm never too far from making my next mistakeCause it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sitting on your shouldersYou can't feel the warmer side of life when your world's getting colderI know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are overBut it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of soberAnd he saidI'm a God-fearing, hard-working manI put the wrong thing in my handAnd I'm a backslider dying down a dead end roadIt all started with my first sip of beerSaw a blur how I got from there to hereAnd twelve steps feels like a million more miles to goCause it's hard to outrun the devilWhen he's sitting on your shouldersWhen he's sitting on your shouldersYou can't feel the warmer side of life when your world's getting colderI know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are overBut it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of soberWell, I paid for the coffeeAnd we stepped out into the nightHe saidIf I can just make it homeIt's the day of May 29But it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sitting on your shouldersYou can't feel the warmer side of life when your world's getting colderI know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are overYou can't feel the warmer side of life when you're sitting on your shouldersBut it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of soberThis side of soberThis side of soberMmmmmmThank you guys!Thank you guys!It's getting cooler!It's getting hot up here.
