Run from the Devil
I told my baby I'll be back when I'm better
I been gone tryna shoot my devils down
Heaven knows that in hell, I'm a wanted man
Wrong side of the tracks, the wrong part of town
They said nothing's free, so what you got for me
"What you got for me?" I said nothing at all
They told me sell your soul
(Sell your soul, come sell your soul)
I ain't ever read a page out the Bible
All my people only pray to that whiskey glass
Every day another game of survival
Dead on arrival, it's the same old song and dance
Oh! Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Ain't no such thing as an innocent soul, no, no
Oh! Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
You can't run from the devil when the devil won't leave you alone
Heard him call my name
But I won't lose my way
I guess I'm DOA
I told my momma that I'm sorry I'm a problem
She tried her hardest, but I'm still my daddy's son
'Cause Heaven knows I got the sins from my father
Hell froze over when I learned how to talk and run
So shut me up or shoot me down
They built the boat but they watched me drown
I paid the cost just to save my life
'Cause every barrel's got a bullet with a name inside
Oh! Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Ain't no such thing as an innocent soul, no, no
Oh! Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
You can't run from the devil when the devil won't leave you alone
Heard him call my name
But I won't lose my way
I guess I'm DOA
No one's holy, no one's saved
Born in sin, we all in flames
Cross my heart and say my grace
Lord forgive my yesterdays
In God we trust 'til we scrape our plates
In God we trust just to save our face
In God we trust to escape our fate
But the hangman doesn't discriminate
He said
Oh! Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Ain't no such thing as an innocent soul
Oh! Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
You can't run from the devil when the devil won't leave you alone
Oh! Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Ain't no such thing as an innocent soul
Oh! ooh-woah-oh-oh
You can't run from the devil, can't run from the devil
And he called my name
But I won't lose my way
I guess I'm DOA
I been gone tryna shoot my devils down
Heaven knows that in hell, I'm a wanted man
Wrong side of the tracks, the wrong part of town
They said nothing's free, so what you got for me
"What you got for me?" I said nothing at all
They told me sell your soul
(Sell your soul, come sell your soul)
I ain't ever read a page out the Bible
All my people only pray to that whiskey glass
Every day another game of survival
Dead on arrival, it's the same old song and dance
Oh! Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Ain't no such thing as an innocent soul, no, no
Oh! Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
You can't run from the devil when the devil won't leave you alone
Heard him call my name
But I won't lose my way
I guess I'm DOA

Oh! Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Ain't no such thing as an innocent soul
Oh! ooh-woah-oh-oh
You can't run from the devil, can't run from the devil
And he called my name
But I won't lose my way
I guess I'm DOA
