Devil On My Shoulder
04:35

You had nothing that I wanted
Nothing I could ever use
So when you said "it's my way or the highway"
What did you expect me to choose
I came to you when I was just a child
You were to teach me right from wrong
But you said I could not be taught, you said I was too wild
You never let me sing my song
Well I used to believe you were smarter than me
But now I know you were only older
And I'll never believe one more word that comes out of your mouth
'Cause you ain't nothing but a devil on my shoulder
You held my hand when I was learning to walk
But then you kicked me when I fell
To yell at someone who doesn't even talk
Oh, how big you must have felt
When I used to believe you were stronger than me
Well now I know you were only older
And I'll never believe one more word that comes out of your mouth
'Cause you ain't nothing but a devil on my shoulder
You tried to sell me fame and fortune
For the low price of my soul
But when I said I would not purchase
You said "boy you're bound to fall"
Well I used to believe you were necessary to me
I thought I would need you when I'm older
But I cannot believe anything that comes out of your mouth
'Cause I know
You ain't nothing but a devil on my shoulder
And now you're talking 'bout my freedom
And you dare to say it isn't free
Well I'm the kid who cried "the king is naked"
And your story doesn't sound right to me
Well I try to believe there's still some sort of justice out there
And that everything will someday come in order
But it's hard to believe when the world seems to be broken beyond repair
And we all carry the weight of those devils on our shoulders
Carry the weight of those devils on our shoulders

Living On the Highway

Wish me luck dear loved ones, I may need it soon
For I'm at the crossroads hitchin' for a ride
I may find my dying bed under the blue Kentucky moon
Wishing I could be in California one more time
Fare thee well sweet darling, we may never meet again
But I'll be damned if I don't wish we do
'Cause nothin' 'bout this goodbye, girl, is a-harder than the fact
That I have to say goodbye to you
I don't know the way, but that doesn't mean I'm lost
I got no destination, ain't got no goals
I've been on the road so long, don't you know I paid the cost
'Cause living on the highway takes its toll

Every Now And Then
03:32
|

|
Every time I get a little bit lonely
You know I think of you
Do you ever think of me
I wonder if you do
Cause every now and then
Every now and then
You must get lonely too
Sometimes I'm happy not seeing you
Sometimes I burst in tears
Sometimes I'm just an empty shell
Sometimes I disappear
But every now and then
Every now and then
I wish you would be here
So take a good look inside you
And tell me what do you see
Is there anybody else beside you
And every now and then
Every now and then
Is that someone me

It's been so long
Could it be too late
To right the wrongs
And set things straight
Some things that we have broken
Can never be repaired
And words we left unspoken
Could not be spread
Now this choir needs some preaching
In this I have no doubt
But the only way of teaching
Is reaching out
Well I'm tired of all these preachers
Who don't practice what they preach
And whatever is above them
Is beyond their reach
Now this road may lead me nowhere
But I'm bound to ride it through
For someday it just might
Lead me back to you

Very good. A nice fresh sound alternative to the groups of the 80's and 90's fusion jazz that my dad played a lot to put me to sleep at night. I hear a bit of Flimm and the BB's in tracks like "Demian" and "shore". This group is tight.
