Bruce Springsteen, “Devils & Dust”

I got my finger on the trigger / But I don’t know who to trust / When I look into your eyes / There’s just devils and dust / We’re a long, long way from home, Bobbie / Home’s a long, long way from us / I feel a dirty wind blowing / Devils and dust

I got God on my side / I’m just trying to survive / What if what you do to survive / Kills the things you love / Fear’s a powerful thing / It can turn your heart black you can trust / It’ll take your God filled soul / And fill it with devils and dust

Well I dreamed of you last night / In a field of blood and stone / The blood began to dry / The smell began to rise / Well I dreamed of you last night / In a field of mud and bone / Your blood began to dry / The smell began to rise

We’ve got God on our side / We’re just trying to survive / What if what you do to survive / Kills the things you love / Fear’s a powerful thing / It’ll turn your heart black you can trust / It’ll take your God filled soul / Fill it with devils and dust / It’ll take your God filled soul / Fill it with devils and dust

Now every woman and every man / They want to take a righteous stand / Find the love that God wills / And the faith that He commands / I’ve got my finger on the trigger / And tonight faith just ain’t enough / When I look inside my heart / There’s just devils and dust

Well I’ve got God on my side / And I’m just trying to survive / What if what you do to survive / Kills the things you love / Fear’s a powerful thing / It can turn your heart black you can trust / It’ll take your God filled soul / Fill it with devils and dust

It’ll take your God filled soul / Fill it with devils and dust
