Lyrics:
Don't Let The Devil
DON'T LET THE DEVIL
VERSE 1
At 17 you were drinking on the weekends
Sneaking out and coming home drunk
By end of summer you were smoking what you wanted
Kept a bag of pills stashed in your trunk
VERSE 2
You couldn't keep spending all of your time
Finding ways to make your head feel good
I don't think you understood
I'll tell you regrets will keep you good
CHORUS
I met the devil at the end of an old dirt road
He said to tell you that you're not even coming close
You think it's almost over
You think the devil will win
Oh no no
You're only playing with sin
You won't let the devil get in
Don't let the devil, don't let the devil
Don't let the devil win
VERSE 3
At 25 you've got a couple of kids
And you're working on a law degree
Every morning you are late for your class
Making breakfast for the ones you feed
VERSE 4
And then you send them to a girl down the street
Where they spend almost all of the day
It kills you to go away
I think they'll be thanking you someday
CHORUS
Keep making music with angels
Living is your art
You won't always be winning
Keep on fighting, just keep on fighting
Your best weapon is your heart
CHORUS
