G Bb C Twice
G
I’ve been working like a dog with my nose to the grind
G
If I don’t loosen up these chains I’m gonna lose my mind
Bb C G
Been on the straight and narrow far too long
D
I’m headin’ downtown and the Devil’s taggin’ ‘long
G F G
Lord have mercy on my soul I feel a sin comin’ on
G
I’m helpless as a child when the neon calls my name
G
I’m drawn to pretty ladies like a moth to a flame
Bb C G
That sweet perfume makes it hard to tell my right from my wrong
D
The flesh is awful weak, and the Devil’s mighty strong
G
Lord have mercy on my soul I feel a sin comin’ on
chorus
C
I try to be good every day
G
But tonight I hope the Angels turn and look the other way
C
I fight the urge, every time
G
But to tell the truth, right now that apple’s lookin’ mighty fine
D
I can feel a fever deep down in my bones
G
Lord have mercy on my soul I feel a sin comin on
Well I ain’t exactly good and I ain’t exactly bad
I ain’t the smartest child that my momma ever had
I never seem to leave temptation alone
The flesh is awful weak, and the Devil’s mighty strong
Lord have mercy on my soul I feel a sin comin’ on
Chorus
I can feel a fever deep down in my bones
Lord have mercy on my soul I feel a sin comin on
