Lyrics

Bad Devil

I wanna know what you all had for dinner

I wanna watch the rodeo

I wanna big city boy, be a man, not a boy

I'm gonna meet you on down beside the bayou

Oh yeah

I wanna be in your little friend

I wanna live in your underpants

I wanna big city boy, be a man, not a boy

I'm gonna meet you on down beside the bayou

Oh yeah

And we'll see how it feels when you're older

And we'll see how it feels when it's over

'Cause it's all just a waste of time

So enjoy what's on my mind

(Someone should have said)

Train won't stop

Never gonna stop

And it's coming back to carry me back home

Leave me alone

With no where to go

And ride that wind back home

Bad devil

Bad devil

Bad devil, bad devil

Bad double-decker devil

Cry for me, baby

Lie for me, baby

Lay down before me, baby

And ride that wind back home

Bad devil

Bad devil

Bad devil, bad devil, bad devil

And I've seen how I'll feel when I'm older

And I've seen how I'll feel when it's over

And it's not just a waste of time

So enjoy what's on my mind

(Someone should have said)

Train won't stop

And it's never gonna stop

And it's coming back to carry me back home

Cry for me, baby

Lie for me, baby

Lay down before me, baby

And ride that wind back home

Bad devil

Bad devil

Bad devil, bad devil

Bad double-decker devil

Bad devil
