Runnin' with the Devil
Living on the Edge: Embracing a Reckless Pace
Lyrics
I live my life like there's no tomorrow
The speaker lives recklessly, without concern for the future.
And all I've got I had to steal
They've had to resort to stealing to acquire what they possess.
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Despite stealing, they prefer not to ask or depend on others.
Yes, I'm living at a pace that kills
The fast-paced lifestyle they lead is detrimental.
Runnin' with the devil
Repeated chorus emphasizing the theme of recklessness and danger.
Runnin' with the devil
-I'll tell y'all about it
Implies a forthcoming explanation or story about their experiences.
I found the simple life ain't so simple
Realizes that what seemed simple is, in reality, complex and difficult.
When I jumped out on that road
They took a risk and embarked on a challenging journey.
I got no love, no love you'd call real
They lack genuine, meaningful love in their life.
Ain't got nobody waiting at home
No one is waiting for them when they return home.
Runnin' with the devil
Reiterated chorus highlighting their alignment with danger and recklessness.
God damn it lady, you know I ain't lying to ya
An assertion of truthfulness to someone.
I'm wanna tell you one time
Expression of agreement or affirmation.
Aah-yeah
-Running with the devil
Repeated emphasis on running with the devil, implying alignment with danger.
Yes I am
-Yeah
-Woo
Non-verbal vocalizations, possibly indicating excitement or intensity.
Woo
-You know I, I found the simple life, weren't so simple, no
Reiteration that what appeared simple initially was not.
When I jumped out on that road
A repetition of taking a risk and facing challenges on the road.
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Similar to line 10, they lack genuine love.
Got nobody waiting at home
No one is waiting for them when they return home (similar to line 11).
Runnin' with the devil
Repeated chorus reaffirming their association with danger.
Runnin' with the devil
-Runnin' with the devil
-Runnin' with the devil
Final repetition emphasizing running with the devil.
