Devil's in the Ace
God is in the jack
Devil's in the ace
I'm a king bettin' on his queen
but a deuce took her place
Now I'm on the run
the bookie's makin' chase
I don't know what I'm runnin' from
I'll never leave this place
Leave this place
All the dreams I ever had
I drank and drowned within
Now the bottle's empty
though my head still spins
and this room and this world
and my friends and kin
in a blaze of glory
then it's dark again
It's dark again
My heart is like a ghost town
veins are empty streets
I'm a wedding gown
after the great divorce
I try to keep my head down
and my mind off of defeat
but the nightmares just come
with greater force
With greater force
The church is always closed
the graveyard's ever open
A steady flow of ghosts
roll out like fog
And all the wicked roads I chose
led me down to bein' broken
where the wind will beat you
with the breath of God
The breath of God
My heart is like a ghost town
veins are empty streets
I'm a wedding gown
after the great divorce
I try to keep my head down
and my mind off of defeat
but the nightmares just come
with greater force
My halo flew to heaven
left me below
But no one will ever know
because the angel in me
it never showed
I'd be in with the devil
if I could find them crossroads
Show me a time
that ain't been laced
with pain and cryin'
Show me a soul
that ain't been riddled
with stains and holes
And I'll show you to the devil
if I could find those crossroads
Devil's in the ace
I'm a king bettin' on his queen
but a deuce took her place
Now I'm on the run
the bookie's makin' chase
I don't know what I'm runnin' from
I'll never leave this place
Leave this place
All the dreams I ever had
I drank and drowned within
Now the bottle's empty
though my head still spins
and this room and this world
and my friends and kin
in a blaze of glory
then it's dark again
It's dark again
My heart is like a ghost town
veins are empty streets
I'm a wedding gown
after the great divorce
I try to keep my head down
and my mind off of defeat
but the nightmares just come
with greater force
With greater force
The church is always closed
the graveyard's ever open
A steady flow of ghosts
roll out like fog
And all the wicked roads I chose
led me down to bein' broken
where the wind will beat you
with the breath of God
The breath of God
My heart is like a ghost town
veins are empty streets
I'm a wedding gown
after the great divorce
I try to keep my head down
and my mind off of defeat
but the nightmares just come
with greater force
My halo flew to heaven
left me below
But no one will ever know
because the angel in me
it never showed
I'd be in with the devil
if I could find them crossroads
Show me a time
that ain't been laced
with pain and cryin'
Show me a soul
that ain't been riddled
with stains and holes
And I'll show you to the devil
if I could find those crossroads
