We spend our days trying to keep our souls safe, it’s all that a good man can do. My father tried to teach me the way, so I could get by. Like how sometimes the darkness creeps in way too close, and a good man knows to turn it away. It’s a path most of us learned to walk, some of us have strayed.
Sometimes I’m that good man, other times I’m not, so I don’t know where they’ll bury me.
If hellfire picks me up and leads me away, I hope I’m not the one that it wants. If hellfire digs me up and leads me astray I won’t forgive what I’m not. I’ll never forget what I’m not.
Well if the devil makes plans and invites you along, he may never tell you that’s why. And if he screams and he’s asking for help, ignore all his cries. If just once you wet your lips from a dirty man’s glass I’m not sure it makes you unclean. But I’ll tell you right now that the next time will be easier.
So, if you try and you mess up, just try again. Most of us have had to try again. And I know we’ll have to do it again.
