I Sold My Soul To The City lyrics

The day I stepped my first foot in the city I promised I wouldn't sell my soul The day I stepped that one first foot in the city I promised I wouldn't sell my soul But when the lights and the scene They shined down onto me I swear to you that night I saw the light So if the devil comes calling You can give him my apartment And I will sign right on the dotted line. My momma always said Those girls of the city Aren't the kind of girls we'd like for you to see My momma always said Son don't get to busy Those girls sure don't know what's best for me But when those girls showed me The gifts they gave me for free. I swear it brought a tear to my eye Now if this whiskey and women Don’t kill me I'm certain That I'm pretty sure that I will never die. Now after all that I've done and I'll that I seen Good luck puttin' me down in the ground Cause I have lived and laughed and loved, And gambled, boozed and stolen Enough to tear any grown man down And Oh Lord Oh Lord Look at what your boy has done tonight. So now if you have words for me You can take it up with us three Me, my left hook, and my right.
