I'm a pretty straight-up guy
And when I decide
What's wrong or right
I know which side to choose
But when I'm drinkin
Things get askew
And I get to thinkin'..
What would the Devil do?

What would the Devil do?
Would he pay up at the bar?
Make his way out to his car?
Or would he stay and chug this booze?
What would the Devil do?
What would the Devil do?

A waitress brushes by
Her pretty eyes
Are hypnotizin'
Now, that's a fine excuse
To ask her out
But my lips won't move
My mind is shouting:
What would the Devil do?

What would the Devil do?
Would he take that lady's hand?
Would he be her faithful man?
Or would he break her heart in two?
What would the Devil do?
What would the Devil do?

{br}
I guess I know the answer
If I thought about it much
'Cause nothin' good can come from
What's in the Devil's touch
He'll never pull me under
But that leaves me here to wonder...

What would the Devil do?
What would the Devil do?

What would the Devil do?
Head on out of here?
What would the Devil do?
Or buy another beer?
What would the Devil do?
Pack it in tonight?
What would the Devil do?
Or start another fight?
What would the Devil do?
Go home, get some rest?
What would the Devil do?
Or touch that girly's ... wrist!

What would the Devil do?
What would the Devil do?

What Would the Devil Do?

Do you remember the days of the stone-faced pioneers?
They were fightin' the land and the cold wind year after year
But their legend lingers on
And it's there for us all to see
'cause it's not what you get, it's what you leave

Do you remember the time when your dinner wasn't bought in a store?
But it was ready to eat at the minute you walked in the door
And the people laboured on
As they tried to make ends meet
And  it's not what you get, it's what you leave

Oh you covet the world like a dog with a bone
But your legacy is the thing that you can't own

break

Do you remember the days when your grandparents rocked in their chair?
And you knew they had it so hard, but they just didn't care
The love you saw in their eyes
For new additions to the family
It's not what you get, it's what you leave

No, it's not what you get, it's what you leave
Oh, it's not what you get, it's what you leave

It's What You Leave

How many times does she have to hurt you
Before you get it through your head?
How many hazy nights, how many crazy fights
Where she left you there for dead?
How many times do we have to divert you?
How many bars, how many beers?

To see a love like that can only end in tears
A love like that can only end in tears

Oh you think that it's not an act and she really loves you - she don't
And you think someday she gonna tell you she really cares - she won't
And you hope when she puts her evil arms around you
It shows you got a lovin' bond but it just ain't there!

How many times do I have to alert you?
Her love is not what it appears
And a love like that can only end in tears
Hey, hey a love like that can only end in tears

solo

How many times will she try to pervert you?
No, she's not what she appears
And a love like that can only end in tears
Yeah, a love like that can only end in tears

A Love Like That

The Wilnot brothers will not go home
They always stick around
When the watering hole is closed
Tell them once
Tell them twice
Tell them thrice
(But that won't suffice)
The Wilnot brothers will not go home

The Wilnot brothers will not comply
You think they'd take the hint
When you give the place a wipe
Tell them once
Tell them twice
Tell them nice
(But that won't suffice)
The Wilnot brothers will not go home

[solo]

Tell them once
Tell them twice
Tell them nice
That won't suffice!
The Wilnot brothers will not go home

Yeah, they like to raise a stink 
And they like to hang around
They're bigger than you think
And they're never going down..
down..
down..

Tell them once
Tell them twice
Tell them thrice
That won't suffice!

Tell them once
Tell them twice
Treat them nice
But Jesus Christ!

The Wilnot brothers will not go
The Wilnot brothers will not go
The Wilnot brothers will not go
The Wilnot brothers will not go home!

The Wilnot Brothers

She was a wonderful girl
The pinnacle of my world
We were enjoying a day at the fair
He chose a moment when I wasn't there

He told her I was no good
He dragged my name through the mire
Just when I thought she was falling for me
That's when she fell for his lies

I saw them get on a ride
The sight of her by his side
Had to believe that she never could know
What it did to my pride

Pretty soon they had gone
They left me standing alone
Just when I thought she was falling for me
That's when she fell for his con

Now a lie is young and polished
We make believe that is true
The truth is old and honest
But it's really hard to prove

Just when I thought she was falling for me
That's when she fell for his lies

I hoped and I prayed she was falling for me
Instead she fell for his lies

Everybody's Gone

I pulled up obituaries on my little phone
Scrollin thru for names of folks I used to know
Ragged yearbook on my table showed my grade nine class
Every face was now encircled to the second last..

There she was - old Betty Harper - she just made the list
Picked up the magic marker that I use for this
When I drew the line around her things were near complete
Now the only one not circled was a teen-aged me

Everybody's gone - I'm the last one standing
Everybody's gone - Every woman and man is
Everybody's gone - What I don't understand is
Everybody's gone - but me.

Early days there weren't too many that you'd see appear
A sudden illness, accident, maybe drank too much beer
But lately they're repeating like a beating drum
And the ink in my old felt pen's nearly running out

Everybody's gone - I'm the last one standing
Everybody's gone - Every woman and man is
Everybody's gone - What I don't understand is
Everybody's gone - but me.

[bridge]
I look so young
So innocent
Smiling shyly for the camera
Caption says:
"Likely to live FOREVER "the longest"

Everybody's gone - I'm the last one standing
Everybody's gone - Every woman and man is
Everybody's gone - What I don't understand is
Everybody's gone - but me.

Everybody's gone - I'm the last one standing
Everybody's gone - Every woman and man is
Everybody's gone - What I'll never understand is..
 
Everybody's gone - but me.
Everybody's gone - but me.
Everybody's gone..  but...
Me.

His Lies
