[Verse]
And I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern to buy me a bottle of beer
I sat me down by a tender young maiden whose eyes were as soft as her hair
As I was searching from bottle to bottle for something unfoolish to say
That silver-tongued devil just slipped from the shadows and smilingly stoled her away

[Chorus]
I said, "Hey, little girl, don't you know he's the devil?
He's everything that I ain't
Hiding intentions of evil intentions under the smile of a saint
All he's good for is getting in troublе
And shiftin' his share of the blame
And somе people swear he's my double
And some even say we're the same"
But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose
I'll only live 'til I die
We take our own chances and pay our own dues

[Outro]
I say, we pay our own dues, I take, uh
He takes most of the chances and I still pay most of the dues
We don't do it in the same place anymore 'cause I quit drinkin' about five years ago and that rascal, ha
He doesn't like my Gatorade
But it don't matter 'cause no matter where he is tonight, if he's out drinkin' all the tequila in Texas with Willie Nelson, I don't care 'cause it's not as good as what's going down right here, right now
The silver-tongued devil and I
