When the devil is all around
Got you crawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees
With an apple in your mouth
You will know how far you'll go
To make your peace with God
I got wasted
And I sat around the fire all day
See if I could find someone
To make love to
And I barely even noticed
How the fibers did tear away
From the fabric of my being
But nobody knows it like you do, babe
Nobody knows it like you do
Nobody knows it like you do, babe
The lengths we will go to
I'm going down a long road
Maybe it's the wrong road
Either way I've gotta find
My way back home again
Well, it's too late to turn back now
Gotta get the lead on out
Gotta find some way to make it right on
But nobody knows it like you do, babe
Nobody knows it like you do
Nobody knows it like you do, babe
The lengths we will go to
There must be some other way
I just don't know
Gotta get myself back up on that high road
But nobody knows it like you do
So I'm gonna be a good man
Gonna do the best that I can
Though I'm a shell of a man that I once was
And if I find forgiveness in the eyes of God
It'll be hard won, I assure you
When the devil is all around
Got you crawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees
With an apple in your mouth
You will know how far you'll go
To make your peace with God
Yeah
You will know how far you'll go
To make your peace with God
