The trouble with the straight and the narrow
Is it's so thin, I keep sliding off to the side
And the devil makes good use of these hands of mineAnd if Jesus is the straight path that saves
Then I'm condemned to live my whole life on the curb
On the crossroad to the devil, I'll dwell and I'll count my yearsYou know that I got a little something I should say
I guess that I'm just so easily led astray
It's alright because I know my own way back home from hereAnd I don't fall off the wagon you know
I take a dive and go as deep as I can go
Don't hold your breath because I'm coming up slow, this timeAnd the trouble with the straight and the narrow
Is it's so thin, I keep sliding off to the side
And the devil makes good use of these hands of mineYou know that I got a little problem or two
I guess that I keep on taking a few
I've been told it's not the best thing that I can do, right nowAnd I don't go looking for my sins you know
They come out waiting and I just get on and go
Don't hold your breath because I'm coming up slow this timeAnd the trouble with the straight and the narrow
Is it's so thin, I keep sliding off to the side
And the devil makes good use of these hands of mineAnd if Jesus is the straight path that saves
Then I'm condemned to live my whole life on the curb
On the crossroad to the devil, I'll dwell and I'll count my yearsAnd the trouble with the straight and the narrow
Is it's so thin, I keep sliding off to the side
And the devil makes, the devil makes, good use of these hands of mine
