Cantrell, Jerry - Devil By His Side Lyrics






Clear on the road tonight
Headlamps shine on the one-way signs
I try to clear my head
Of thoughts better left unsaid
Runnin' down an old elusive high
One more time
The wind upon my face
No one here for to block my way
I wake the setting sun
Bullet shot by a thoughtful gun
Runnin' down an old elusive high
Did I lose you
Oh friend of mine
Is it in your hardened heart to
Trust me one more time
See, I'm tryin' to shake that same
Devil from my side
Always watchin' me, yeah
Laughing while I cry
While I cry
Gunnin' down an old elusive high
One more time
Clear on the road tonight
Headlamps shine on the mileage signs
Not much further to go
I laugh and I'm almost home
Gunnin' down an old elusive high
Did I lose you
Oh friend of mine
Is it in your hardened heart to
Trust me one more time
See, I'm tryin' to shake that old
Devil from my side
Always taunting me, yeah
Laughing while I cry
While I cry
Runnin' down an old elusive high
One more time
One more time

    jerry is the Lord of Lyrics

  2. D.... F....

    I had the pleasure of mtg Jerry and Sean in Boston hot autos, pix,fkn awesome such an underrated song and CD my favorite song of his RIP layne

  3. A.... K....

    We have to careful listen to Alice and Jerry and u get the feeling of something demonic. Sea of sorrow is a river of blood. I can't remember is about not being able to remember ur name because it's been awhile since they had a sip of blood just to name a few. Heaven beside u is about killing a child. Heaven is the child and the hell with them is the demon who wants the child. Sludge factory is about a blood factory. Hate to feel talks about thining walls thining blood down. I'm sorry but I right about music about alot of messed up stuff but never about drinking blood.

    A.... K....

    I drink blood everyday

  4. P.... K....

    Such a beautiful song! Love Jerry Cantrell. Love the guitar on this song

    Really sweet song. I hope Cantrell never quits sharing this stuff.

    Layne Stayley has the stronger more epic voice but Jerry Cantrell has this cool laid back feel to his vocals that are awesome.

    "Devil By His Side"

    Clear on the road tonight
    Headlamps shine on the one-way signs
    I try to clear my head
    Of thoughts better left unsaid
    Runnin' down an old elusive high
    One more time
    The wind upon my face
    No one here for to block my way
    I wake the setting sun
    Bullet shot by a thoughtful gun
    Runnin' down an old elusive high
    Did I lose you
    Oh friend of mine
    Is it in your hardened heart to
    Trust me one more time
    See, I'm tryin' to shake that same
    Devil from my side
    Always watchin' me, yeah

    Cass •-• you gotta lot of the lyrics wrong

  18. N.... ....

    Loving the "Heaven Besides You" flavor

    N.... ....

    Dark-n Light- I was forced into one... Went into the other (after saying fuck this)r and found out both are real.

  19. J.... K....

    I can't believe this isn't more popular. 7 years and only 39,000 views? People just don't appreciate Jerry like they should. Like, check the jackets of your AIC cd's credits and see who wrote almost every song. Who am I talking to? Nobody has cd's anymore... Always reminds me of a night in '03 2 friends and I split a case, ounce, and a q-ball, with this album on repeat. Ah, I was so young then.

    J.... K....

    Guess you have to be with the IN CROWD. Because the shit on the "NEW" Radio they are Pimping is Fukkin Rubbish.

    J.... K....

    vonsmink1 , got that right!

  20. M.... M....

    Phenomenal lyricist, God guitar player, gorgeous, funny, sweet...swoon.♥️🌹💖💐AIC, single artist, he can do it all.

  21. j.... ....

    All about Layne. Jerry is a master lyricist.

    j.... ....

    We love and miss Layne, never to be the same.

  22. D.... L....

    where's your albums at kacocksucker?

  23. R.... E....

  24. g.... ....

    He opened with this in 1998,fucking killer

  25. s.... ....

    This song has such an interesting drive to it, to me. Like the whole feel is so unique, but very normal at the same time. Well done.

    s.... ....

    Right when you think you've got it figured out it throws a curveball.

  26. S.... M....

    genius

  27. D.... I....

    hahahahah, this person likes John Mayer and Limp Bizkit. That should say it all, dude... they're "special" and we shouldn't make fun of the mentally handicapped.

  28. D.... I....

    So, using the words "plan" and "home" a lot makes one a homosexual? Your logic is purely your own, sir. Using your logic, Robert Plant is a serial killer because the word "baby" is nearly every Led Zeppelin song.

  29. R.... ....

    right on dude, my favourite lyric from this song, gives me the chills every time!

  30. G.... ....

    Wow you Just Admitted you have an STD. Did your Dad give it to you? Is he The Tranny You Talk About?

  31. M.... ....

    How can u possibly say that. The ones who say that kind of shit are the ones that r gay. JC is an amazing musician. He's my #1 influence w/out a doubt.

  32. s.... ....

    ....from my suggestions...Great Track. Period.

  33. 1.... ....

    Props to Mr. Cantrell - too cool.

  34. T.... ....

    you phuckin bet'ch'ya

  35. D.... ....

    Just too Fuckin Awesome.

  36. B.... ....

    Runnin' down an old elusive high.......one more time!!

  37. B.... ....

    i've always underestimated jerry's ability to make a jammin song, good stuff!

  38. p.... ....

    Good Lyric...
