[Verse 1]
Dm
I was born in this town when it still seemed like heaven
C Dm
But the devil's got a way of movin' in and settin' stakes
C
I've seen his poison slowly seep into the purest
Dm
I know the look of a good man when he breaks
[Verse 2]
I've seen the sunrise kiss this land every mornin'
C Dm
I've watched the land slowly withering away
I've spoken to deaf ears who would not heed the warning
C Dm
And I've wondered all these years why the hell it is I stay
[Chorus]
C Dm
Once, when you could trust a man, you met his eyes and shook his hand
A Dm
But all the honor left this land a long long time ago
C Dm
All the earth is dry and bare, and no one has a thing to spare
A Dm
And the only one who seems to care is the devil that you know
C Dm
The devil that you know
[Verse 3]
I've tried leaving in that beat up ol' Pontiac
C Dm
But I always wind up turnin' back, and only god knows why
Do I believe that I can help somebody
C Dm
There must be more than just waitin' 'round to die
[Verse 4]
Am I the fool who believes that he's the shepherd
C Dm
I figure that I might be the wolf out on the hill
One or the other, can't be both together
C Dm
Whichever I may be, I know there'll come a time to kill
[Chorus]
C Dm
Once, when you could trust a man, you met his eyes and shook his hand
A Dm
But all the honor left this land a long long time ago
C Dm
All the earth is dry and bare, and no one has a thing to spare
A Dm
And the only one who seems to care is the devil that you know
C Dm
The devil that you know
