Daddy and the devil walk side by side Me and momma, we tried to hide He couldn't stay sober if he tried Daddy and the devil walked side by side The devil had a hold on daddy's hand He never had a straight and narrow plan Down a dark and deadend road they ran The devil had a hold on daddy's hand He took his soul and he took his pride But the devil still ain't satisfied We all cried the day he died Daddy and the devil walked side by side Daddy and the devil were the best of friends We all know that story's end But it's the son who pays for the father's sins Daddy and the devil were the best of friends He took his soul and he took his pride But the devil still ain't satisfied We all cried the day he died Daddy and the devil walked side by side Years gone by and I'm a full grown man It took a lot of living to understand How a good man falls for the devil's plans The devil had a hold on daddy's hand He took his soul and he took his pride But the devil still ain't satisfied We all cried the day he died Daddy and the devil walked side by side Daddy and the devil walked side by side
