This one is imagined.

lyrics

The devil on my shoulder says that I should get it over…
But I don’t want to let you down
The devil on my shoulder, well he sure is a talker
He’s got lots of bad ideas that we’ve been tossing around

The angel on my right, well she’s gone for the night
But I want so much to be true
Well I’m an easy sell, but I don’t want to go to hell
And I’ve been trying with all my might to be good to you

Chorus
Well I may be a simple man
My eyes may look where they should not
But I’m gonna try the best I can
Not to let that devil win, never to [mess] up again, oooh

Well the girl at the bar, she’s this town’s little star
And she’s been checking me over all night
And I can’t help but stare at that long red hair
Flowing down to the top of her thighs

Mac over at Rudy’s says she says she wants to do me
And I’m thinking that may not have been a lie
She’s really cute, she’s got long legs to boot,
And before the night’s over I think I’m gonna die

Chorus
Well I may be a simple man
My eyes may look where they should not
But I’m gonna try the best I can
Not to let that devil win, never to mess up again, oooh

Bridge:
Gotta get out of here, gonna leave my beer and go
Cause I’ve been a no-good cheater, but I love my woman so

Repeat V1 and Chorus.
