Maybe the devil

One speaker keeps going out on the stereo
but this record still sounds great
I lost track somewhere down the line
but I think it's the last one they ever made

he had to know his liver was failing
that his time wasn't for long
playing guitar like maybe the devil
swapped him his soul for those songs

Read about him dying in the newspaper
I was suprised they'd even put it in
cause he never sold many records
or made it anywhere close to the top ten

It wasn't music for everyone
but they kept pushing on and on
playing guitar like maybe the devil
swapped him his soul for those songs

They didn't have no record company man
pushing their product whole hog
but they say should you tame a wolf
all you get is just a plain old dog

Maybe that's the upside to going crazy
and dying young
playing guitar like maybe the devil
swapped him his soul for those songs

So I'm listening to him again tonight
just letting this record play and play
I lost track somewhere down the line
but I think it's the last one they ever made

He had to know his liver was failing
that his time wasn't for long
playing guitar like maybe the devil
swapped him his sould for those songs
