Classic Rock/rock lyrics

Question
I recently watched the movie "Dazed & Confused" and heard a old rock song that I liked but don't know the group or song title.  The lyrics that caught my attention went some thing like this " I walked through the hall of commons and I shook hands with the devil & god" .  I hope that is enough 'cause thats all I can remember.  Think you can answer, who the band is and the song name?  
Thank you,

Loren Julin

Lord Have Mercy On My Soul Lyrics by Black Oak Arkansas

Lyrics

I've walked through the Halls of Karma
I shook hands with both the Devil and God
They turned my eyes to the inside to see
Where my energies have gone
Yes I've run with both all through my life
I've respected and reflected them both
Yes the sympathy of God as he looked
At my life the excitement of the Devil as we talked

So Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul

The Devil said, "scratch my back and I'll
Scratch your back for sure"
So you have done all these sins for him
My heart could not be pure
I found out what means more to me
Than anything on this earth
To be ready for my judgement day
Ready to face the truth

So Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul

I hope I've done the right things
For both your sake and mine
I preach in what I live for
My only fear is fear of time
I wanted to look logical
to both my "Maker" and his host
But this trip of life must be complete
or my cards will be lost.

So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul
