"Coupe DeVille" lyrics - SHAKEY GRAVES

The devil said for you and I
To settle in our shoes
So we would never have to fight
And never have to lose

[Chorus:]
But many a road have I wandered
And many a love have I pondered
Many a life have I squandered
On my way, on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way back home

So I went up to god's front door
And said, "Hey, listen up!
You know, the devil offers Coupe DeVilles
And water in my cup"

[Chorus:]
But many a road have I wandered
And many a love have I pondered
Many a life have I squandered
On my way, on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way back home

So I laughed in the devil's face
And said, "Hey, go to hell
You think I'd buy just anything
That you would try and sell?"

[Chorus - alt:]
'Cause many a life have I wagered
And many a love have I savored
Many a lie have I favored
On my way, on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way back home

[Outro:]
Yeah, on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way back home
Yeah, on my way, on my way
Oh, on my way back home
