I'm keeping the heat on
I'm doing the best I can
Now I'm looking for something
You just wouldn't understand
With a devil in my heart
And a shotgun in my hand
You're gonna lose this man
I said you're gonna lose this man

Livin' the high life
I got shadows on my tail
Sharper then an old jack knife
Poison like a rusty nail
Won't take no for an answer
I'm two steps ahead of the law
I count my friends on these four fingers
Who could ask for more
I said who could ask for more

Sometimes you gotta let your feelings show
Sometimes you gotta let those cold wind blows
Who's gonna pay the piper for the song he sings
And who's gonna take some pity
On my lonely tired wings

My tired wings
My tired wings
My tired wings
Kick it

Life is such a lonely game
If you want to play
The stakes are high and so I am
Sometimes oh the devil pays
Blood is thicker than water boy
And much deeper than your soul
Gold don't buy to much around here
It'll turn your heart to stone
Just turn your heart to stone

Sometimes you gotta let your feelings show
Sometimes you gotta let those cold wind blows
Who's gonna pay the piper for the song he sings
And who's gonna take some pity
On my lonely tired wings
