Devil May Care - Sarah Shook & the Disarmers

Black top shine Like an oil slick in the night Got a new life waitin' out West It's gonna fit me right No bill collector on the telephone Nothin' but me and the open road You know the devil may care But I'm never comin' home Leaving it all behind me in the city Now it's wall to wall stars shining in my eyes I got no bill collector on the telephone Nothin' but me and the open road You know the devil may care But I'm never comin' home No bill collector on the telephone Nothin' but me and the open road You know the devil may care But I'm never comin' home In the city lights I can't relate I need outer space in interstate I got no bill collector on the telephone Nothin' but me and the open road Don't you know the devil may care? But I'm never comin' home Comin' home Comin' home Comin' home

No cares for me I'm happy as I can be I've learned to love and to live Devil may care No cares and woes Whatever comes later goes That's how I'll take and I'll give Devil may care When the day is through, I suffer no regrets I know that he who frets, loses the night For only a fool, thinks he can hold back the dawn He who is wise never tries to revise what's past and gone Live love today, let him come tomorrow what may Don't even stop for a sigh, it doesn't help if you cry That's how I'll live and I'll die And devil may care No cares for me I'm happy as I can be I've learned to love and to live Devil may care No cares and woes Whatever comes later goes That's how I'll take and I'll give Devil may care When the day is through, I suffer no regrets I know that he who frets, loses the night For only a fool, thinks he can hold back the dawn He who is wise never tries to revise what's past and gone Live love today, let him come tomorrow what may Don't even stop for a sigh, it doesn't help if you cry That's how I'll live and I'll die Devil may care Surely devil may Surely devil may Devil may care

Say goodbye to mom and dad The two best friends i never had To be knowing where i'm going How about you? Give them all my love so much I promise that i'll stay in touch If i know where i am going So will you (And you too) I've thought about so many things It only complicates my dreams It's keeping me from knowing what to do Got to go i'm loosing touch I think about you way too much It's keeping me from knowing me or you (Or you)

Every day you tell me I'm a drunkard And every night you lie awake and stew I never claimed to be anything other, darling 'Cause the bottle never lets me down the way you do Every night I sit 'til sun-up drinkin' And every day I wait for night to fall So I can clear the darkest mem'ries from my recollection And hear no sounds and feel nothing at all The bottle never lets me down You won't find it running round In the darkest corners of this town Away from me No, I keep this bottle close in hand It's the only thing left that I got that I can Make me feel the man I used to be I never want to remember the joy you bought me Oh, I how used to laugh, all of the things we'd do I've forgotten all about the things that could be, darling 'Cause the bottle never lets me down the way you do The bottle never lets me down You won't find it running round In the darkest corners of this town Away from me No, I keep this bottle close in hand It's the only thing left that I got that I can Make me feel the man I used to be Make me feel the man Make me feel the man Make me feel the man I used to be

Skippin' cracks in the sidewalk Kickin' cracks in my head Keep on stickin' to my block Stuck on a loop I got bones in my backyard So I stay shut up in my house Got a five for a high card Got a gun in case I gotta go out Talkin' to myself about it Talkin' to myself I didn't mean to go on about it Lookin' at cats on the corner Pills in the kitchen for my cough Bad shit goin' down on the border Bad brain don't ever turn off

Down in the valley where I started to pine Buried by the weight of each day But I picked me a mountain and I started to climb Now every reason has a rhyme I'm up here in the atmosphere (I got this) The sun is shinin' and my eyes are clear (I got this) I can see all a my problems from here (I got this) I got this In the hush of the mornin' in the misty still When all of the pages are blank Write you a story you can proudly tell They say the best revenge is living well

You ain't got no way of knowin' what you got until it's gone My baby she sure showed me But every I find myself all down and out I realise I am to blame to some degree Well I ain't makin' no mistakes like the last time I ain't just keepin' you around as a pastime I swear I won't take you for granted I get I don't deserve demandin' Baby please give me one last try Well I gave my best and fell short by a mile And no man got no business tellin' you to smile But I'm the one who brought you down can't I make it up somehow? I'd give anything I own to reconcile Well I ain't makin' no mistakes like the last time I ain't just keepin' you around as a pastime I swear I won't take you for granted I get I don't deserve demandin' Baby please give me one last try Well I ain't makin' no mistakes like the last time I ain't just keepin' you around as a pastime I swear I won't take you for granted I get I don't deserve demandin' Baby please give me one last try Baby please give me one last try Baby please give me one last try

The devil on your shoulder is your only friend There he sits just to remind you all good things come to an end And you can fight it with the thoughts you think and the words you say It doesn't change anything You been left to your own devices And oh yes they're all vices And there's no one comin' to overturn the tables Lord knows you'd leave it all behind if you were able I've walked the path you wander now and I know it well Each step a reminder, each day a hazy hell God is dead and heaven's silent, death has lost its sting It doesn't change anything The bottle and the needle reign Where memories are deafening And there's no one comin' to overturn the tables Lord knows you'd leave it all behind if you were able
