Testo The Western (The Devil Is Me)

Testo The Western (The Devil Is Me)

A higher warning
On the morning
Of new years day
And I am moving west

This is my darkest holler
This is my beck and caller
This is what I must do to rest

Well I know that I can swing
A mighty mighty chain
Right here in the garden of a lion

But I know that I will say
Goodbye, goodbye someday
To the devil and his weary mind

It took a while to catch my breath
It took a while to catch my breath
It took a while for me to see
That the devil, well the devil is me

I could stay here
All the day dear
But I must go now
‘Cause I was headed west

I’ve heard that times are hard
I’ve seen the windows barred
In the valley of the shadow of death

Pockets sewn with line
Up against the tide
With glory drums and pistols firing

Hammer set and light
I will sleep the night
Upon your grave if you will sleep on mine

It took a while to catch my breath
It took a while to catch my breath
It took a while for me to see
That the devil, well the devil is me

That the devil, well the devil is me

A higher warning
On the morning
Of new years day
And I am moving west
