          D 
Well, the devil made me do it, do it, do it, 
                           A 
The devil made me trip and fall, 
    D 
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it 
              A         D 
Till I had no chance at all. 
 
D                  G      D 
What did I do that was so bad 
   D            A      D 
To go and get myself arrested? 
D                G         D 
Just hit town to have some fun 
      D        A      D 
But I ended up in the trash can. 
D                  G       D 
There I was in the witness stand, 
   D           A           D 
My eyes turned towards the jury, 
D                          G          D 
Trying to recall what went wrong last night 
       D          A          D 
But it won't come right back to me. 
 
chorus 
 
The lawyer said, "Son, won't you plead the fifth, 
And don't speak unless requested". 
Using all the words at his command, 
His skills were sorely tested. 
Then, to my complete surprise, 
They went and called a hostile witness; 
The devil himself, well he took the stand 
And that's where my case rested 
 
chorus 
 
What did I do that was so bad 
To go and get myself arrested? 
Well, I was just in town to have some fun 
But I ended up in the trash can. 
There I was in the witness box, 
My eyes turned towards the jury, 
Trying to recall what went wrong last night 
But it won't come back to me. 
 
chorus 
chorus 
 
Well, the devil drove me to it, to it, to it, 
The devil made me trip and fall, 
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it 
Till I had no chance at all, Till I had no chance at all, 
Till I had no mind at all.
