lyrics

I got a motel room
and a flat screen TV
and I don't need you
or your company

I got a box of matches
and a can of kerosene
and I've got half a mind
to blow this town to smithereeens

'cause the devil on my shoulder
won't leave me alone
the devil on my shoulder
won't leave me alone

I got a case of Keystone
to keep me occupied
I'm so damned invisible
I don't even have to hide

so don't try to call me
'cause I won't be there
just gimme one more night
and I'll be out of your hair

'cause the devil on my shoulder
won't leave me alone
the devil on my shoulder
won't leave me alone
I'm weavin' in between traffic cones
'cause the devil on my shoulder
won't leave me alone

the highway's like a trapdoor
that you're standin' on
one minute you're there
and the next you're gone

so I'll be camped out by the lake
burnin' joints for fuel
baby, I may be a loser
but I'm nobody's fool

'cause the devil on my shoulder
won't leave me alone
the devil on my shoulder
won't leave me alone
you'll find my car keys next to my bones
'cause the devil on my shoulder
won't leave me alone
