I was feeling a little down on my luck
Met a man who said his name was Chuck
Then he said, did you know the devil was dead ?
So we sat together and broke bread
Man, he could tell a story
He told me I had nothing to worry
We had a couple shots and a few beers
He told me again, I had nothing to fear
Then he looked me in the eye and said
Hey, man, did I tell you the devil was dead ?
I was thinking maybe I was wrong
To sit there and talk, but it’s been so long
Since God’s shown up around here
So we ordered a few more beers

Then he told me a few jokes
Then lit up another smoke
He asked what I thought about love
And he asked if I believed in God
But before I could answer he said
Hey, did I tell you the devil was dead?

Maybe I was wrong to sit there and listen
But I thought what was I really missing
Been so long since God showed up ‘round here
So we ordered more shots and a few more beers
Maybe it was the alcohol that started to talk
I told him it was time for me to take a walk
There was something about him I recognized
I said man, your entertaining but all you do is lie
Hell, man, we’ve all had a bad year
It seems like a long time since God’s been here
You’ve won some battles and had a good time
But I believe love wins and God is alive
Then I looked him in the eye and said
After all, didn’t you tell me you were dead ?

That’s just terrifying – especially for a recovering alcoholic. It’s just so easy to take a drink with the devil. Very well done. Thank you.
