The Devil's In My Pocket Lyrics

Well I often felt so lonely since I left my mother's womb

Well I hope the lord is coming and I hope he's coming soon

Well I think I heard his sleigh bells on Channel 22

Well I'll be left to wander here with nothing left to do

Cause the devil's in my pocket and the devil's in my hand

The devil's selling bibles out on the old newsstand

The devil's singing gospel tunes in his Christian band

And the devil sure can hold a tune as well as Abraham

Well the only friend that I have left is Bob Dylan's ghost

We both quit smoking cigarettes I don't mean to brag or boast

And we both bought homes in Malibu out on the west west coast

And I just got their record slow train coming in this morning's post

Cause the devil's in my pocket and the devil's in my hand

The devil's selling bibles out on the old newsstand

The devil's singing gospel tunes in his Christian band

And the devil sure can hold a tune as well as Abraham

Well I'm a half-hearted Christian I got the Quran on my mind

But I've been too afraid to read it afraid that God will strike me blind

I was born here in America with Jesus on my side

And I hope I get my best life now cause it's my time to die

I said I hope I get my best life now cause it's our time to die

Cause the devil's in my pocket and the devil's in my hand

The devil's selling bibles out on the old newsstand

The devil's singing gospel tunes in his Christian band

And the devil sure can hold a tune as well as Abraham

The devil can hold a tune as well as any man
