Devil in the Middle Lyrics

Ten years ago underneath a bridge

Six pack of beer three packs of cigs

She's old enough to matter too young to care

With the radio blasting and her fist in the air

Wearing old t-shirts and greasy jeans

A fist full of the finer things

Well slip a wrench once you'll skin your knuckles

Wake up quick and you learn how to hustle

Getting older by the minute, soon found out

Candy tastes sweet with blood in your mouth now oh

And they take too much, they take too little

Riding shotgun with the devil in the middle

Take the first job that you can find

Try to live your life by falling behind

Sooner or later the bills come due

The waitress brings a check and stares at you

Gets to be about all you can stand

You put your face down, head in your hands

Sooner or later gonna break this cage I know a few boys who are on the take

They're getting older by the minute, soon found out

Candy tastes sweet with blood in your mouth now oh

And they take too much, they take too little

Riding shotgun with the devil in the middle

Does it even really matter anyway

The sun comes up tomorrow, we'll make our getaway

Still I feel like I should pay for my mistakes

But I can't help but wonder, is there any other way

Getting old about a minute, soon found out

Candy tastes sweet with blood in your mouth now

And they take too much, they take too little

Riding shotgun with the devil in the middle now
