Takin' On The Devil
Riding the Rebel Spirit: Clay Cormier's Journey through Life's Highway
Lyrics
Well I took another trip around the sun
Reflecting on another year of life passed.
Momma said boy you're a loaded gun
Mother warning about potential danger or recklessness.
Daddy said listen, I taught you better than that
Father expressing disappointment and emphasizing past teachings.
Yeah that preacher man said I'm so far gone
A religious figure suggesting a state of moral decline.
Walking this road for way too long
Long journey down a troubled path.
Never too late to get your life on track
Optimism about the possibility of turning life around.
They were load and clear
Messages from influential figures.
But all I could hear
Struggling to hear important advice amid distractions.
Was that whisper in my ear
A subtle inner voice providing guidance.
You better hold on
Encouragement to endure challenges.
Cause it's gonna be a long ride
Acknowledging the difficulties ahead.
Crank it up and keep it wide open all night
Being energetic and carefree all night.
Another round, we just might
Possibly taking risks without concern for consequences.
Feel like takin' on the devil tonight
Expressing a desire to confront challenges boldly.
Hammered down, loaded like a shotgun
Driving fast and feeling powerful.
Fired up on the levee with a cold one
Celebrating with a drink by the river.
Roll it up, give me a light
Rolling a substance for recreational use.
Yeah I'm takin' on the devil tonight
Confronting personal demons with confidence.
Yeah I try to slow down, but it's so damn hard
Struggling to change lifestyle habits.
Turning back around when you take it this far
Commitment to continue on the chosen path.
It's too late for you to change my mind
Defiance against others' attempts to influence.
We only get one chance to live this life
A philosophical reflection on the finite nature of life.
Worry 'bout yours and I'll live mine
Ignoring others' concerns and focusing on personal choices.
Take a rip and a sip it'll all be fine
Finding solace and enjoyment in simple pleasures.
Yeah I'm going to enjoy the ride
Embracing and enjoying life despite challenges.
You better hold on
A repetition of the encouragement to hold on.
Cause it's gonna be a long ride
Reiteration of the challenging journey ahead.
Crank it up and keep it wide open all night
Continuing to live life energetically all night.
Another round, we just might
Possibly indulging in risky behavior for pleasure.
Feel like takin' on the devil tonight
Reaffirming the desire to face challenges boldly.
Hammered down, loaded like a shotgun
Driving fast and feeling invincible.
Fired up on the levee with a cold one
Celebrating by the river with a drink.
Roll it up, give me a light
Preparing and using a substance for recreation.
Yeah I'm takin' on the devil tonight
Confidently confronting personal demons.
(Yeah)
A short affirmation of the preceding statement.
You better hold on
Reiteration of the need to hold on during challenges.
Cause it's gonna be a long ride
Reaffirming the difficulties of the journey.
Crank it up and keep it wide open all night
Continuing to live life energetically through the night.
(Keep it wide open all night)
Encouraging an open and carefree approach throughout the night.
Another round, we just might
Possibly suggesting the continuation of risky behavior.
Feel like takin' on the devil tonight (yeah)
Expressing the desire to confront challenges boldly.
Hammered down, loaded like a shotgun
Driving fast and feeling powerful again.
Fired up on the levee with a cold one (fired up)
Celebrating with a drink by the river once more.
Roll it up, give me a light
Preparing and using a substance for recreation again.
Yeah I'm takin' on the devil tonight
Confidently confronting personal demons again.
