Better Man

As I went down a sad mans road I never had no place to go I joined the Devil on my right He said to rob and steal tonight I don't believe I can, be a better man I went down where the water sings I went to see what it would bring Now, could it wash my sins away And point me to a good mans ways I don't believe I can, be a better man Who knows what I have planned to do Who knows if I could see it through Have I already sold my soul Oh, when the Devil took control I don't believe I can, be a better man
