The Devil Walks Free

[Verse] Out in the shadows of the sagebrush plain, The devil rides free, without any shame. No need to disguise in this wicked land, Where the hearts of men are blacker than sand. [Verse 2] Once there was good in the eyes of frail, Now it's lost to greed, anger, and ale. They'd walk with the devil, arm in arm, No need for his charm to cause any harm. [Chorus] Oh, the devil walks free, in broad daylight, He doesn’t need to run, doesn't need to fight. For the sins of men have paved his way, In a world where the righteous have gone astray. [Verse 3] The preacher he stands, Bible in hand, But his soul’s been sold to the devil's band. No prayers can save what's already gone, When your heart's been cold for far too long. [Verse 4] The townsfolk whisper of olden days, When the good still shined like morning rays. But now the night looms over the land, With the devil free, hand in hand. [Chorus] Oh, the devil walks free, in broad daylight, He doesn’t need to run, doesn't need to fight. For the sins of men have paved his way, In a world where the righteous have gone astray.
