The introduction to this song is amazing, I love the piano.
"Can you get me there, friend?
Without a soul to sell along the way
The devil rides with me again
He always says everything's okay"
He gave up on Jesus, he is now a friend of the devil.
"Maybe I'm losing sleep over nothing
Maybe I'll be just fine
He tears me away from all those little things
That seemed so important when I knew you "
Maybe he used to date a Christian? In any case, when he dated this girl, he didn't cavort around with the devil.
"And can you get me there, friend?
You know the devil only holds a lease
And he's so hard to kick, man
It's been twenty years since I've been clean "
I think he means the devil has a lease on his soul, and therefore the devil is living inside of him. And it's been twenty years since the devil has been out of him.
"Maybe I'm losing sleep over nothing
He tells me I'll be just fine
He's in my blood, he's thicker than love
He seems so important, and you keep fading"
As this girl moves further and further out of the picture, the devil becomes a more and more important part of his life.
And I think the end is just him calling her and being rude on the phone. Possibly.
