Devil Keep A' Rockin

The devil's in my heart
The devils in my home, today
I asked him to depart
Told him go away
But he said
"Baby, this is my home
Too, yknow?"

Drinkin'
All my sorrow
Hopin that tommorow
He'll be on his merry way
And gone for good---
But devils that I've heard of
They seem to prefer
That you just let them run their course
And run your life---
That's right

So
Devil keep a rockin' while
The whiskey that I'm knockin
Back'll surely fill your belly til
You're full---
My soul's in a locket---
Now it lies corrupted
Cuz the devil leaves no room
For empathy

Devil got me good
The devil's got me down, today
I told him to leave
Said he couldn't stay
But he said
"Baby, you can't tell me
Where to go"

Looking in the bottle
Downing booze full throttle--
But he seems to like the way I'm tortured so---
No credits in my pocket
I'll head on home and walk it off
But he'll march right beside me
As I go

So
Devil keep a rockin' while
The whiskey that I'm knockin
Back'll surely fill your belly til
You're full---
My soul's in a locket---
Now it lies corrupted
Cuz the devil leaves no room
For empathy

Kickin' up my boots
Rubber in their soles---
Kick em off 'n shoot
For all the souls the devil stole

Fire in my hand
Clutch in reprimand--- well I say
Devil you can't play your games
No more

So devil keep a rockin' while
The barrel that I'm knockin
Back'll surely fill your body til
You're full---
My soul's in a locket---
Now it lies corrupted
Cuz the devil leaves no room
For empathy

So, devil keep a rockin' while
The whiskey that I'm knockin
Back'll surely fill your belly til
You're full---
My soul's in a locket---
Now it lies corrupted
Cuz the devil leaves no room
For empathy
Or you and me
