Discover the story of the song > Me and the Devil – Gil Scott-Heron

The song talks about a man who greets the devil when he knocks on his door. They walk together and the man plans to see his woman until he's satisfied. The lyrics also mention people mistreating him, blaming it on an evil spirit, and the man suggesting that his body should be buried by the highway so his evil spirit can catch a Greyhound bus and ride.
