Hidin' intentions of evil
All he's good for is gettin' in trouble
She knew in her heart that he'd lied
I said, "Hey, little girl, don't you know he's the devil
Whose eyes were as soft as her hair
He's everything that I ain't
But the silver tongued Devil's got nothing to lose
And some people swear he's my double
And shifting his share of the blame
We take our own chances and pay our own dues
I'll only live till I die
And some people swear he's my double
That silver tongued Devil just slipped from the shadows
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
"All he's good for is gettin' in trouble
I sat me down by a tender young maiden
I'll only live till I die
The silver tongued Devil and I
And she knows he's the Devil
Hidin' intentions of evil intentions
But nothing that I could have said could've saved her
Under the smile of a saint"
And some even say we're the same
We take our own chances and pay our own dues
But the silver tongued Devil's got nothing to lose
Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him
And smilingly stole her away
Under the smile of a saint
No matter how hard that she tried
He's everything that I ain't
For somethin' unfoolish to say
Of something that she's never known
'Cause she'll offer her soul to the darkness and danger
And some even say we're the same"
And as I was searchin' from bottle to bottle
Who'll love her and leave her alone
And shifting his share of the blame
