[Verse 1]
Well you're sittin' in a courtroom
The jury stares you down
The devil made you do it
He drove you into town
Made you pull the trigger
As if your hands were tied
They didn't buy your story but you tried tried tried
The backroad to hell is full of manmade curves
[Bridge]
And the devil gets a lot more credit than he deserves
[Verse 2]
Well so you've got something special
But you're running into bumps
You're just a little man in a world
Full of Hilton's and Trumps
You say the devil's working gainst ya
Don't want you to succeed
And no one really cares what you need need need
And I feel for you brother It's bound to test your nerves
[Bridge]
But the devil gets a lot more credit than he deserves
[Verse 3]
Well you know it's got to be a drag
When you're a fallen star
But he loves all this attention
You can't buy this kinda PR
So he's taken more vacations
Lounging by the pool
He was chillin' at the Hamptons
That night you lost your cool
The backroad to hell is full of man-made curves
[Bridge]
And the devil gets a lot more credit than he deserves
[Outro]
I said the backroad to hell is full of man-made curves
And the devil gets a lot more credit than he deserves
Yeah he does
The devil gets too much credit (x5)
