Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, ah, yeah
[Verse 1]
I live my life like there's no tomorrow
And all I've got, I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes, I'm livin' at a pace that kills
[Chorus]
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil (I'll tell ya all about it)
[Verse 2]
I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody waitin' at home
[Chorus]
Runnin' with the devil (God dammit, lady, you know I ain't lying to ya, I'm only gonna tell you once, yeah)
Runnin' with the devil (Yes, I am, yeah)
[Verse 3]
You know I, I found the simple life weren't so simple, no
When I jumped out on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody waitin' at home
[Chorus]
Runnin' with the devil (Oh god, oh god, I'm running, oh yeah)
Runnin' with the devil (And I want more time)
[Outro]
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
