J. J. Cale - Devil in Disguise lyrics

rate me

From the california shore to new york city

The beat don't never stop

You can hear it on the radio anywhere you go

It's steady as the rhythm of a clock

It cuts through the noise of the city life

It won't seem to go away

It's the devil in disguise I tell you no lies

My fingers do the walking everyday

Yonder comes a young girl she wants to take a whirl

She thinks it's all a dream

She got rock and roll way down in her soul

She wants to know where's the limousine

Get up honey let your mama sit down

You're too young anyway

The devil in disguise give her the prize

Then you can carry her away

When the road I travel starts to unravel

Every which way it goes

The beat starts to press on my bullet proof vest

And my high turns out to be low

Give me my guitar I'm going to go far

Let me see it let me hold it in my hand

I'm the devil in disguise I tell you no lies

I'm playing in a rock 'n roll band
