Runnin' With The Devil
I live my life like there's no tomorrow
And all I've got I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes I'm living at a pace that kills

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil

I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody waiting at home

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil

You know i, I found the simple life, weren't so simple, no
When I jumped out on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody waiting at home

Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil
Runnin' with the devil

Little Dreamer


They may talk about you cold when you were
Headed for the skies
But you were young and bold and baby didn't that
Change with a wink of your eye
Now no one's talkin' 'bout those
Crazy days gone by
No one talks about the
Times you cried

(oooh) little dreamer
(oooh) uh, little dreamer

And then they voted you
Least likely to succeed
I hadda tell them baby, you were armed with
All you'd need
Seems no one's talkin' 'bout those
Crazy days gone past
Weren't they amazed when you were
Really last

(oooh) you are the little dreamer
(oooh) you were the little dreamer, yeah, yeah

Yeah they talk about you cold when you were
Headed for the skies
But you were young and bold and baby didn't that
Change with a wink of your eye
Seems no one's talkin' 'bout the
Crazy days gone past
Weren't they amazed when you were
Really last

(oooh) you are the little dreamer
(oooh) little dreamer, oh yeah, oh
(oooh) little dreamer
(oooh) little dreamer
