lyrics

Drinking whiskey like water and breathing cigarette
If there a way to stop thinking I ain't found it yet
And the angel on my right she ain't posing no threat
To the devil on my left, he ain't letting me forget.

It's hard to see the stars when you're face down on the lawn
I passed out by midnight, had my first beer at dawn.
I can't find my keys and my wallet is gone
But the devil on my left, he just keeps holding on.

I keep trying to find answers through hard livin and drink
A bartenders tips are cheaper than a shrink
Tried closing my eyes so I don't have to think
But the devil on my left, he ain't sleeping a wink.

Everything happens for a reason they say
But I've never believed that and still don't today
Some try to find proof when they kneel down and pray
But the devil on my left, he don't see it that way.

The devil on my left, he ain't going away

The devil on my left just keeps leading the way.

about

Charles J Hunk Thorold, Ontario

Old, surly, drunk at the end of the bar. They say write what you know, so I wrote some songs about drinkin and heartbreak. Please excuse my lack of talent, the next round is on you.
