I'm no hero, marks on my soul
I've made mistakes, I've been down the black hole
Ow, mama always told me if you're going straight
Listen to your heartbeat, it'll pave the way

Well, the angels got that devil in me
Will they shine their light so I can see?
Well, the angels got that devil in me

Saint or sinner, there ain't no truce
When your halo slips it becomes a noose
Ow, my papa always warned me, whatever evil's around
You gotta take the high road or baby you might drown

Well, the angels got that devil in me
Will they shine their light so I can see?
Well, the angels got that devil in me, yeah

Mama always told me, the angels will guard me
Mama always told me, the devil won't get me, ow
Mama always told me, the angels will guard me
Mama always told me, the devil won't get me, wow!

Well, the angels got that devil in me (oh, mama always told me)
Will they shine their light so I can see? (Yeah, my mama told me)
Well, the angels got that devil in me, yow

Ooh, alright
Mama always told me
Mama always told me
