<br />
Sinner, hear what I'm sayin'<br />
Sinner, you've been swingin', not prayin'<br />
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun<br />
The odds against goin' to heaven, six-to-one<br />
<br />
You walk on the wild side, the Devil is waitin'<br />
He's waitin' to take your hand<br />
You walk on the wild side, you're walkin' with Satan<br />
Away from the Promised Land<br />
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun<br />
The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one<br />
<br />
You better cross over, you better walk humble or you're gonna stumble<br />
And Satan is waitin' to take your hand<br />
You walk on the wild side, you walk on the wild side<br />
Away from the Promised Land<br />
One day of prayin' and six nights of fun<br />
The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one<br />
<br />
The odds against going to heaven six-to-one<br />
