[Lyric] Outwit the Devil (Willy Mason)

[Verse 1]
You made a deal when times were tough
When what you had was not enough
Your wings were clipped, mouth was dry
You sold a gift that is why

[Chorus]
You've got to outwit the devil
Outwit the devil
Outwit the devil
Outwit the devil

[Verse 2]
He's got you pinned, mirrors and smoke
There seems no end to his great joke
Losing friends, emptiness grows
The only thing that you know:

[Chorus]
You've got to outwit the devil
Outwit the devil
Outwit the devil
Outwit the devil
[Verse 3]
It is hard to right the boat
When it wasn't made to float
We've carried it for so long
We let it go, then down it comes

[Outro]
Outwit the devil, outwit the devil
Outwit the devil, outwit the devil
Outwit the devil, outwit the devil
Outwit the devil, outwit the devil
Outwit the devil, outwit the devil
Outwit the devil
