Demons

Sometimes they're in a bottle

Sometimes a pair of high-heel shoes

Some come rolled in paper

Some have six strings and only play the blues

Once you've met the devil

There ain't no way he'll let you be

When I'm not chasin' demons

There's demons chasin' me

The skeletons in closets

Ghosts underneath the bed

They hide out in pictures

And words better left unsaid

They hang around like perfume

And haunt me like an ancient melody

When I'm not chasin' demons

There's demons chasin' me

There's things that I can't leave alone 'cause they won't leave me alone

'Cause what I want ain't what I need

Still I reach for the things I crave and better try to run away

Maybe I'm afraid of bein' free

'Cause when I'm not chasin' demons

There's demons chasin' me

So roll on up and light it

Pick up my old guitar

I'm playin' crossroads

Drinkin' whiskey from a mason jar

There's a heartache at my front door

Says she needs my company

When I'm not chasing demons

There's demons chasing me

There's things that I can't leave alone 'cause they won't leave me alone

What I want ain't what I need

Still I reach for the things I crave and better try to run away

Am I afraid of bein' free? You tell me

'Cause when I'm not chasin' demons

There's demons chasin' me

When I'm not chasin' demons

There's demons chasin' me

There's demons chasin' me

There's demons chasin' me

When I'm not chasin' demons

There's demons chasin' me

There's demons chasin' me

Demons chasin' me

There's demons chasin' me

When I'm not chasin' demons

There's demons chasin' me
