Sinner, don't you hear what I'm sayin' Sinner, you've been playin', not prayin' One day of prayin' and six nights of fun The odds against goin' to heaven, six-to-one You walk on the wild side, the Devil is waitin' He's waitin' to take your hand You walk on the wild side, you're walkin' with Satan Away from the Promised Land Sinner, if you're playin' with fire Sinner, stakes keep getting much higher One day of sorry then six in the brothel Satan is waitin' to take your soul to hell You better cross over, you better walk humble or you're gonna stumble And Satan is waitin' to take your hand You walk on the wild side, you walk on the wild side Away from the Promised Land One day of prayin' and six nights of fun The odds against going to heaven, six-to-one One day of prayin' and six nights of fun The odds against going to heaven six-to-one
