Robert Earl Keen Beats the Devil Lyrics

Intro:
(not palm mute but that think where you just put your hand
over the strings and strum but dont push anything down...)
C#m (same thing again) C#m
Chords:
I can't remember when
I was here but I'm back again
I barely know you friend
and everything has changed
The sun burned up the sky turned green
the air it smelt of gasoline
the soldier boy the teenage queen had
sinse become astranged(?)
Chorus:
Awwwww keep moving, like the wind across the sea-ea
Awwwww I'm moving, beats the devil out of me.
I was teathered to the plow
and came untied but dont know how
it's all behind me now
like some exotic dream
I woke up in oil and mud
and sticks and stones and bones and blood
and everthing i knew (that) was good
had vanished with the steam
Now i walk this earth to find
some place to rest some peace of mind
I walk on until I'm blind,
Until i'm old and grey
So my Friend good luck to you
I wish you well in all you do
here's hopin' that your dreams come true
and you never have to say
