Song by Bruce Springsteen<br /><br>

I got my finger on the trigger <br>

But I don't know who to trust <br>

When I look into your eyes <br>

There's just devils and dust <br>

We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie <br>

Home's a long, long way from us <br>

I feel a dirty wind blowing <br>

Devils and dust <br>

<br>

I got God on my side <br>

And I'm just trying to survive <br>

What if what you do to survive <br>

Kills the things you love <br>

Fear's a powerful thing, baby <br>

It can turn your heart black you can trust <br>

It'll take your God filled soul <br>

And fill it with devils and dust <br>

<br>

Well I dreamed of you last night <br>

In a field of blood and stone <br>

The blood began to dry <br>

The smell began to rise <br>

Well I dreamed of you last night, Bobbie <br>

In a field of mud and bone <br>

Your blood began to dry <br>

And the smell began to rise <br>

<br>

We've got God on our side <br>

We're just trying to survive <br>

What if what you do to survive <br>

Kills the things you love <br>

Fear's a powerful thing, baby <br>

It'll turn your heart black you can trust <br>

It'll take your God filled soul <br>

Fill it with devils and dust <br>

It'll take your God filled soul <br>

Fill it with devils and dust <br>

<br>

[Harmonica solo] <br>

<br>

Now every woman and every man <br>

They wanna take a righteous stand <br>

Find the love that God wills <br>

And the faith that He commands <br>

I've got my finger on the trigger <br>

And tonight faith just ain't enough <br>

When I look inside my heart <br>

There's just devils and dust <br>

<br>

Well I've got God on my side <br>

And I'm just trying to survive <br>

What if what you do to survive <br>

Kills the things you love <br>

Fear's a dangerous thing <br>

It can turn your heart black you can trust <br>

It'll take your God filled soul <br>

Fill it with devils and dust <br>

Yeah it'll take your God filled soul <br>

Fill it with devils and dust <br>

<br>
