[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning sometime around 3 a.m
Dripping wet, beads of sweat rolling down my skin
Lately, I can't sleep, I got hell on my mind
Running on empty, Lord, I'm running dry

[Verse 2]
Sometimes the temptation is just too much to bear
It's just too much whiskey and girls with long dark hair
I know I should pay my tab and call a cab back home
But I hate to sleep alone

[Chorus]
I hear them coming, trying to take my soul away
Making deals with the devil, now it's time to pay
I keep on running, pray my heart don't turn to black
Can't shake the devil off my back

[Verse 3]
I'll fight the good fight 'til the very end
Gonna climb that mountain with all of my friends
When I get to the top gonna turn around and yell
"Devil go back to hell"

[Chorus]
I hear them coming, trying to take my soul away
Making deals with the devil, now it's time to pay
I keep on running, pray my heart don't turn to black
Can't shake the devil off my back
I hear them coming, trying to take my soul away
Making deals with the devil, now it's time to pay
I keep on running, pray my heart don't turn to black
Can't shake the devil off my back
[Outro]
Devil off my back
Devil off my back
Devil off my back
Can't shake the devil...
