The broken and fallen damned old souls been sent to burn
Nowadays they've been callin'
Tellin' me soon
Gonna be my turn
Head down
Walk with reason
Know that when the daylight dies
Gonna have to face my demons
A life of sin and a life of lies

The devil's gonna come when the sun go down
The devil's gonna come when the sun go down

Gonna lay by the river, gonna rest my eyes
Cuz I know this time tomorrow
There ain't gonna be blue skies
I walk a lonely mile, so many years I roamed
I'm sinkin' slowly, so low
Lord, won't ya take me home?

The devil's gonna come when the sun go down
The devil's gonna come when the sun go down

Now I'm buried in a shallow grave
By the riverside
Marked off with a granite stone
And the date I died
Let down, for know good reason
Chose to walk the way I did
And now whatever I see
Comin' up ahead, now

The devil's gonna come when the sun go down
The devil's gonna come when the sun go down
The devil's gonna come when the sun go down
The devil's gonna come when the sun go down
