The Devil Is All Around Lyrics

When the devil is all around, got you crawlin' on the ground
On your hands and your knees with an apple in your mouth
You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god
I got a-wasted and I sat around the fire all day
See if I could find some one to make love to
And I barely even noticed how the fibers did tear away
From the fabric of my being
But nobody knows it like you do, babe
Nobody knows it like you do
Nobody knows it like you do, babe
The lengths we will go to...
I going down the long road, maybe it's the wrong road
Either way I've got to find my way back home again
And it's too late to turn back now, gotta get the??
gotta find some way to make it right, oh
But nobody knows it like you do, babe
Nobody knows it like you do
Nobody knows it like you do, babe
The lengths we will go to...
There must be some other way, I just don't know
How to get myself back up on that high road
But nobody knows it like you do
So I'm gonna be a good man, gonna do the best I can
Though I'm a shell of a man that I once was
And if I find forgiveness in the eyes of god
It'll be hard won, I assure you
Cause when the devil is all around, got you crawling on the ground
On your hands and your knees with and apple in your mouth
You will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god
Yeah, you will know how far you'll go to make your peace with god

Shovels & Rope is American folk duo of husband and wife Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst from Charleston, South Carolina.

The duo began with two guitars, a junkyard drum kit (harvested from an actual garbage heap- adorned with tamborines, flowers and kitchen rags), a handful of harmonicas, voices, and above all.. songs. Cary Ann Hearst & Michael Trent prefer to keep it simple. They have cleverly managed to take 3 separate recording projects and combine them into 1 cohesive, folk rock, sloppy tonk, harmonized, loose but tight, streamlined audience killing machine.

Michael Trent (Texas/Colorado) has just released his second solo album entitled "The Winner", and Cary Ann Hearst (Mississippi/Tennessee) is about to release her second record "Lions & Lambs". Together hey have one duo release "Shovels & Rope" which was came out in 2008 and are currently working on the follow up "Shovels & Rope V.2" in their house, van, and backyard. At the shows, expect to hear a little something from any or all of these releases - while the duo switch instruments and share lead vocal duties. Also prepare to rethink your definition of a live rock band. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
