Yeah, Yeah!
Ah, yeah!

I live my life like there's no tomorrow
and all I've got, I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes I'm livin' at a pace that kills

Oooh, yeah
(Ahh!) Runnin' with the devil (Ahh-hah! Yeah!)
(Woo-hoo-oo!) Runnin' with the devil
I'm gonna tell ya all about it

I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out, on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody, waitin' at home

(Ah, yeah-ah!)
Runnin' with the devil
(God damn it lady. You know I ain't lyin' to ya)
(I'm only gonna tell you one time-ya!)
Runnin' with the devil
(Yes I am! Yeah!)

(Guitar Solo)
Woo!

You know I, I found the simple life
Weren't so simple, no
When I jumped out, on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody, waitin' at home

(Ah, yeah!)
Runnin' with the devil
(Hold on. Hold on, I'm runnin'! Ah, yeah!)
Runnin' with the devil
(Uh! Uh! Come on, one more time)

(Guitar Solo)

(Ha-yeah!)
Runnin' with the devil
(Oh, yeah! Ya-yeah!)
Runnin' with the devil
(Woo! Woo!)

N' she knew better
He wanted her tonight
And it was now or never
He made her feel so sad

Oh, whoa, whoa, Jamie's cryin'

She knew he'd forget her
N' so they said ah-good night
Oh, and now he's gone forever

Uh, just to try to make herself feel better

SShha!

They may talk about you cold when you were
Headed for the skies
But you were young and bold, and baby
Didn't that change with a wink-a your eye

Now no one's talking 'bout those crazy days gone by
No one talks about the times you cried

(Oooh-oooh) Little dreamer
(Oooh-oooh) Little dreamer

And then they went and they voted you
Least likely to succeed
I had to tell them baby you were armed with all you'd need

Seems no one's talking 'bout those crazy days gone past
Weren't they amazed when you were really last?

(Oooh-oooh) You are the little dreamer
(Oooh-oooh) You were, the little dreamer. Yeah-yeah!

(Guitar Solo)

Yeah, they talk about you cold when you were
Headed for the skies
But you were young and bold, and baby
Didn't that change with a wink o' your eye

Seems no one's talkin' 'bout the crazy days gone past
Weren't they amazed when you were really last?

(Oooh-oooh) You are the little dreamer
(Oooh-oooh) Little dreamer, yeah. Oh-oh
(Oooh-oooh) Yeah. Little dreamer
