The Devil Came Down to Texas

The Devil went down to Texas
And made
Quite a splash
The Devil went down to Texas
To escape the past
The Devil went down to Texas
Where the heat is dry
The Devil went down to Texas
With lone stars in his eyes

But

What is fire
And brimstone
When you're
Sitting all alone on your
Smokey throne
Do you
Ever stop to
Consider why
When they all say I love you
You start to cry

The Devil came down to Texas
And realized quickly
That
Something else is missing in this
Soliloquy
Cause when you're
Used to getting nothing
You're suspicious of free
And if there's
One thing
That he has learned
Love don't
Come easily

But

What is fire
And brimstone
When you're
Sitting all alone on your
Smokey throne
Do you
Ever stop to
Consider why
When they all say I love you
You start to cry
Oh

The Devil came down to Texas
And saw
Many things
The cannon's blast
Ashes cast on their
Pretty wings
But when
Devil came to Texas
They realized
The love they missed
On their checklist
Was coming from inside
So they say

What is fire
And brimstone
When I'm
Sitting all alone on this
Broken throne
Do I
Ever stop to
Consider why
When they all say I love you
I start to cry
Oh
What is fire
And brimstone
When I'm
Sitting all alone on this
Broken throne
Do I
Ever stop to
Consider why
When they all say I love you
I start to cry
