Story Behind The Song
You may recognize the melody. I stole it from my song "Vitamin J," adding lyrics written especially for the second musical co-writen with my brother Scott. The song is about heaven and hell and the choices that put us in one place or the other

Lyrics
Devil May Care
Devil: You say that you don't know what's happening to you
You don't understand why you're feeling so blue
'Cause you got what you need but you still want more
Don't look any further - I've got the cure
Chorus:
Devil may care, devil may care
I'll take you there
Devil may care, devil may care
The devil may care
St. Peter: I know this is heaven - there's angels all around
But even in Paradise, flaws can be found
Mistakes, they do happen, though rarely, pray tell
I better call Satan - oh, she'll give me hell
Chorus:
Devil may care, devil may care
She'll meet you there
Devil may care, devil may care
Devil may care
Angels: We've been to heaven
Devils: We've been to hell
Angels: You could have been with us
Devils: Look how far we fell
All: It comes down to choices
Every day, everywhere
You may think it doesn't matter
But the devil will care
Chorus:
Devil may care, devil may care
Devil may care
Devil may care, devil may care
Devil may care
