Between the Devil and Me

This world can take you by the hand And tempt the soul of any man You can choose your path There's two roads you can take One way is right and one is wrong The flesh is weak But love is strong And she's all I see between the Devil and me The gates of Hell swing open wide Inviting me to step inside I'll be your friend Because, again, I know it's him The flames are spreading everywhere Through the smoke I see you there She's all I see, between the Devil and me I hold her in my arms at night So safe and warm I close my eyes And a cool breeze blows 'cross our bodies in the dark Outside her reach is my concern Somewhere I know the fire burns She's all I see, between the Devil and me The gates of Hell swing open wide Inviting me to step inside I'll be your friend Because, again, I know it's him The flames are spreading everywhere Through the smoke I see you there She's all I see between the Devil and me The gates of Hell swing open wide Inviting me to step inside She's all I see, between the Devil and me --- Between The Devil And Me - Alan Jackson
