[Verse] He was born in the nineteen hundreds To a low-class single mother And he left town at age sixteen With a dollar and a dream In the land of sin and angels Made a fortune out of fables All the vices were at his feet And he spent like he had never seen [Prechorus] So it was no surprise when they were all around When he said he was dyin' His "friends" were fallin' out [Chorus] He said "I sold my soul for the low Sold my soul for the low" He said "I sold my soul for the low Sold my soul for the low" [Verse 2] Then he went to a higher power Got clean in the twelfth hour And he gave back what he took Tried to balance out the books But they say karma is a two-way street And the devil always gets his keep So when he thought he had it all It all came back around [Prechorus] So it was no surprise when they were all around When he said he was dyin' His "friends" were fallin' out [Chorus] He said "I sold my soul for the low Sold my soul for the low" He said "I sold my soul for the low Sold my soul for the low" He said "I sold my soul for the low Sold my soul for the low" He said "I sold my soul for the low Sold my soul for the low"
