lyrics

I’ll tell you a thing or two about the Devil
He held me while I cried and helped me fly

And I’ve learned a thing or two about the folks who raised him
His mama’s eyes were kind
But fear ruled her mind while G-d kept her blind

So she twisted up his life in knots with any rule to save his soul
No games with cards
No sinnerman’s guitar
No pins to bowl
No dice to roll
No magical tales or your path be derailed
The Lord must prevail

Hey Mother, are you in there?
Your heart seems trapped within your mind
Hey Ma, I’ve gotta find another way
‘Cause something doesn’t feel right

He packed the only bag he had and built himself a tender life
At the top of his class even holding her kin
She relentlessly told him his life was a sin
So they drifted and swayed until her mind began to fade

As her mind let go of memories she loved life like a child
This devil son, now she called number one
She laughed and she cried while he stayed by her side
No longer confined by her old, narrow mind

It came to be that time had turned the page
Her soul had found its way home
Living memories through tears, what a curious year
Finding love deep inside a vacant mind
Without rules or blame she saw we’re all just the same
And to the Devil she could say
Hallowed be thy name

Hey Mother, are you up there?
I’d love to know what’s on your mind
Hey Ma, you know it really isn’t fair
That you only learned to love
Once you lost your mind

But I hope you’re restin’ easy on the other side
