Cruisin on the grey snakes till my dyin day
Checkin all the hen houses out along the way
Wastin time and drikin wine
Life is short and I ain’t lyin
Livin all I Can thru every day

You can call me Lucifer
If you think you should
Now I know I’m good

Everynight I’m barrelhousin till the moon is low
Shoutin blues and payin dues & throwin way my dough
Ramblin, Gamblin, Lovin, Shovin probably won’t end up with nothin
But at least I’ll reap the seeds I sow

Funky water farmers daughter gonna make the law
Lucy Blue Chicago Green I’ll love em till they thaw
Courtin all the lovely foxes, brunette, redheads, goldi locks
Talkin time to grind my crosscut saw

About Lyrics and Lucifer by Bob Seger

The lyrics for Lucifer are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1970 song by Bob Seger. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Lucifer have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Lucifer - Bob Seger and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Lucifer by Bob Seger in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Lucifer" means the words set to the music of Lucifer, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Bob Seger. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Lucifer and the lyrics to Lucifer are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Bob Seger who came here looking just for the lyrics to Lucifer, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
