I've dealt with the devil,
I went down to hell,
left with nothing,
had nothing to lose
I've played with some broads,
had nothing to give,
got only some cigs and some booze
I've travelled the highways,
I've walked down the line
and here is one thing I have learned
When you climb up a mountain,
fly close to the sun,
before long you're gonna get burned
I'm crying 'bout my dirty mess,
been crying out loud since
My darling's gone 'cause I confessed
the devil's thirteen sins
Got into some trouble,
been in a few fights,
I ran with some bad company
With so many misfits
on so many nights,
it's all just a bad memory
But when I woke up,
still had beer in my cup,
and a hell of a nasty hangover
Reality b***s
as she enters the room,
God help me I wish I was sober
I'm crying 'bout my dirty mess,
been crying out loud since
My darling's gone 'cause I confessed
the devil's thirteen sins
I'm crying 'bout my dirty mess,
been crying out loud since
My darling's gone 'cause I confessed
the devil's thirteen sins
Thirteen sins,
no one wins.
Can't get them
outta my mind
Such regret,
can't forget
about my horrible crimes
'Cause every second, every minute,
every hour it's hanging over my head
Every second, every minute,
every hour till the day that I'm dead
I did one for the money
and two for the show,
three for some good rock'n'roll
I did four on the floor
and took five in one toke,
did six from the depth of my soul
Did seven in heaven
and eight down in hell
did nine in the Garden of Eden
Then ten and eleven
and twelve in a row,
the last one without any reason
I'm crying 'bout my dirty mess,
been crying out loud since
My darling's gone 'cause I confessed
the devil's thirteen sins
I'm crying 'bout my dirty mess,
been crying out loud since
My darling's gone 'cause I confessed
the devil's thirteen sins
The devil' dozen's haunting me.
May the devil never win
