lyrics

I knew a boy who grew up too fast
and he grew up long and lean
he was finishing whiskey
and running with the wolves
by the time he was 13
and the zealots in town
told him to settle down
and take the hand of a beautiful wife
so he picked up the bible
and kicked the bad habits
found jesus and he changes his life

he set one foot into the church
he got one foot in the grave
I guess one hand washes the other anyway

dearly departed we are gathered here today
to pay our humble respects to the ones that got away
but when you see that river up ahead
you know you gotta get across once you're dead
but don't cross satan
cuz satan is a friend of mine

yea I knew a girl who had a dozen lovers
and she didn't care about them at all
dancing' naked in the rain
and shootin' cocaine
every night she would welcome her downfall
her family intervened they told her get clean
and settle down with an honest man
so she put on a dress and got a job and a house
and acted womanly as best she can

so she set one foot into the future
she got one foot in the past
I guess sometimes things just happen that way

[refrain]

I was alone out standing at the crossroads
pickin' at my old guitar
when out of the fog the devil he approached
he said he was a fallen star
now we shook hands I told him all my troubles
he was kind enough to lend an ear
He said he knew a place I could ease my pain
and if I go I got nothin' to fear

So I put one hand into the darkness
and one hand in the light
and I can't help my legs from just followin' in his footsteps

[refrain]
