Lyrics

I live my life ple like there’s no (D)to mor (Em)row.

And all I’ve got I (Em)had to steal.

’Least I don’t need to (G)beg or call (D)bor (Em)row.

Yes, I’m no liv in’ at a pace that (D)kills.

(E)Run nin’ with the dev (D)il,

(E)run nin’ with the dev (D)il.

I found the sim ple life there’s ain’t (D)so sim (Em)ple, And when I jumped out (Em)on that road.

I got no love, no (G)love you’d call (D)real.

(Em)row.

Ain’t got no bod y at a wait at (D)home.

(E)Run nin’ with the dev (D)il,

(E)run nin’ with the dev (D)il.

(E)Run nin’ with the dev (D)il,

(E)run nin’ with the dev (D)il,

(E)run nin’ with the dev (D)il,

(E)run nin’ with the dev (D)il.
