The Devil’s On My Shoulder
© mai prosser 2006
1.)
I drove all the way to Vegas
With gambling on my mind
For bright lights and pretty gals
I left my girl behind.
Man! I blew a bundle,
At the tables and the track
Returned with empty pockets
Thumbing my way back
Chorus)
The Devil's on my Shoulder
An angel's close behind
The angel whispers common sense
But the devil knows my mind
I listen to them argue
They bicker all the time
When the Devil gets his way
I have no peace of mind.
2.)
Little angels frown upon
Women of that kind
Whispered, “She's not right for you
Choose a girl who is refined.â€Â
I was going slumming anyway
The devil danced with glee
The angel swung a two by four
Just missed the back of my knees!
Chorus)
The Devil's on my Shoulder
An angel's close behind
The angel whispers common sense
But the devil knows my mind
I listen to them argue
They bicker all the time
When the Devil gets his way
I have no peace of mind.
3.)
The angel’s always harping
About my sinful ways
But the devil’s dancing 'round me
Trying not to be replaced.
I wonder where I'll be
When I’m old and gray
But the Devil’s on my shoulder
And always gets his way
Chorus)
The Devil's on my Shoulder
An angel's close behind
The angel whispers common sense
But the devil knows my mind
I listen to them argue
They bicker all the time
When the Devil gets his way
I have no peace of mind.
Tag)
They bicker all the time
with the Devil on my shoulder
I have no peace of mind.

Hey Jeff.
Glad you liked. It was fun to do.
--but I didn't realize I was losing visuals as I continued. I could 'see' it all.
--but then I was inside my own head--LOL
--then strangely enough as I read it again, I can 'see' my original "cartoonish pics"
Any suggestions?

hi Jeff.
Thanks for the ideas
Will take some thinking on my part--to see what I come up with. 
As far as an ending, I have this (as though the guy never changed his ways. (Maybe a good woman can do it???)
I wonder where I'll be
When I’m old and gray
But the Devil’s on my shoulder
And always gets his way
Cheers Mai
