I make my rounds of the country churches
Playing my guitar for free
My repertoire is one hundred nine
Songs to God's Glory

CHO : Now I'm pickin' to beat the Devil
And you know he's on my tail
But the Lord is in my fingers
And He won't let me fail

I found myself in a roadside barroom
Drinkin' my time away
Kentucky women and Tennessee whiskey
There's gonna be Hell to pay

A worn-out Chevy and a beat-up Martin
Is all I'll ever own
My worthless life is dedicated
To bringin' God's Children home

Now I'm pickin' to beat the Devil
And you know he's on my tail
But the Lord is in my fingers
And He won't let me fail

Fourteen songs and a temperance sermon
Is what a good meal buys
For a little extra there's a guitar solo -
"The Reward in the Sky"

Now I'm pickin' to beat the Devil
And you know he's on my tail
But the Lord is in my fingers
and He won't let me fail

- Pure Prairie League, "Pickin' to Beat the Devil" from Two Lane Highway

Good luck,friend!
