The Devil Is My Friend Lyrics

Well, I'm all strung out in Texas
and I think I'm gonna lose my mind
Well, all my friends in Texas
they always have a damn good time

'Cause it's long, long, long hauls
and those close, close, close calls
'Cause the Devil is my friend
'Cause the Devil is my friend
'Cause the Devil is my friend
'Cause the Devil is my friend

'Cause we've been drinkin' for 30 days
and we don't care if we die
and we're livin' fast and hard
and that's the way we spend our time
and we don't need no one tryin' to tell us
how to live our own no-good life
Hey, our own hellbilly right

'Cause it's long, long, long hauls
and those close, close, close calls
'Cause the Devil is my friend
'Cause the Devil is my friend
'Cause the Devil is my friend
'Cause the Devil is my friend

Well, I'm all strung out in Texas 
and I think I'm gonna lose my mind 
Well, all my friends in Texas 
they always have a damn good time

'Cause it's long, long, long hauls 
and those close, close, close calls 
'Cause the Devil is my friend 
'Cause the Devil is my friend 
'Cause the Devil is my friend 
'Cause the Devil is my friend

'Cause we've been drinkin' for 30 days 
and we don't care if we die 
and we're livin' fast and hard 
and that's the way we spend our time 
and we don't need no one tryin' to tell us 
how to live our own no-good life 
Hey, our own hellbilly right
 
'Cause it's long, long, long hauls
and those close, close, close calls 
'Cause the Devil is my friend 
'Cause the Devil is my friend 
'Cause the Devil is my friend 
'Cause the Devil is my friend

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
