Devil I’ve Been
Well I ran down to the Calico Creek
Where the crystal water pools up deep
And I jumped on in to rinse my sins
Tryin' to wash off the devil I've been
I didn't wanna do what I had to do
But if you'd been there, it could have been you
Now the man I was is closing in
Tryin' to catch me for the devil I've been
Lord, I know you hear me
Just know I'm runnin' to get back home
Right now I need some savin'
Some kind of amen, this much I know
Hell's on my heels, I'm a wanted man
I'm kickin' this dirt as fast as I can
And prayin' them gates will let me in
For tryin' to outrun the devil I've been
Ain't no time for slowin' down
To catch my breath or turn around
It's back there knowing I'm heaven bound hopin' that I slip
I've done some things that I can't change
My past is just two steps away
But I'll keep lookin' straight ahead
I'm still alive, it ain't caught me yet
Lord, I know you hear me
Just know I'm runnin' to get back home
Right now I need some savin'
Some kind of amen, this much I know
Hell's on my heels, I'm a wanted man
I'm kickin' this dirt as fast as I can
And prayin' them gates will let me in
For tryin' to outrun the devil I've been
Lord, I know you hear me
Just know I'm runnin' to get back home
Right now I need some savin'
Some kind of amen, this much I know
Hell's on my heels, I'm a wanted man
I'm kickin' this dirt fast as I can
And prayin' them gates will let me in
For trying to outrun the devil I've been
Tryin' to outrun the devil I've been
Lord, tryin' to outrun the devil I've been
Oh, the devil I've been
Just tryin' to outrun the devil I've been
Where the crystal water pools up deep
And I jumped on in to rinse my sins
Tryin' to wash off the devil I've been
I didn't wanna do what I had to do
But if you'd been there, it could have been you
Now the man I was is closing in
Tryin' to catch me for the devil I've been
Lord, I know you hear me
Just know I'm runnin' to get back home
Right now I need some savin'
Some kind of amen, this much I know
Hell's on my heels, I'm a wanted man
I'm kickin' this dirt as fast as I can
And prayin' them gates will let me in
For tryin' to outrun the devil I've been
Ain't no time for slowin' down
To catch my breath or turn around
It's back there knowing I'm heaven bound hopin' that I slip
I've done some things that I can't change
My past is just two steps away
But I'll keep lookin' straight ahead
I'm still alive, it ain't caught me yet
Lord, I know you hear me
Just know I'm runnin' to get back home
Right now I need some savin'
Some kind of amen, this much I know
Hell's on my heels, I'm a wanted man
I'm kickin' this dirt as fast as I can
And prayin' them gates will let me in
For tryin' to outrun the devil I've been
Lord, I know you hear me
Just know I'm runnin' to get back home
Right now I need some savin'
Some kind of amen, this much I know
Hell's on my heels, I'm a wanted man
I'm kickin' this dirt fast as I can
And prayin' them gates will let me in
For trying to outrun the devil I've been
Tryin' to outrun the devil I've been
Lord, tryin' to outrun the devil I've been
Oh, the devil I've been
Just tryin' to outrun the devil I've been
