a little man who throws conscience to the wind
he always takes me back to where I started from again
he says that you're worth it put God on a shelf

you've got what it takes deny your maker deny yourself

who's gonna win this thing the devil or me
a day to day battle between the devil and me
step off twenty paces and fire
devil and me

a classic bout it seems I'm always on the ropes
rob me of my sanity my dignity all of my hope
the way to heaven is what's to be found
I've got news for you satan I'll be back for another round

who's gonna win this thing the devil or me
a day to day battle between the devil and me
step off twenty paces and fire
devil and me
