Don't Tell the Devil

Well I come to California with my heartache on my sleeve

Half pack of Parliaments, cash to buy some weed

I come to California with the weight of who I was

Searching for the person I’ll become

Though I feel this weight upon me, I don’t fuss and I don't fight

I done too much wrongful living and I’m bound to make it right

I came here on my knees a halo in my hand

Don’t tell the devil where I am

I took my life to Tennessee with a voice I thought I knew

Singing to strangers like I used to sing to you

I took my life to Tennessee, to those honkey tonks and bars

I’m just shooting for the stars

Though I feel this weight upon me, I don’t fuss and I don't fight

I done too much wrongful living and I’m bound to make it right

I came here on my knees, a halo in my hand

Don’t tell the devil where I am

Oh I’m goin’ far away

Won’t be easy but it’s worth the pain

Leavin’ is what’s left to do

Don’t need another late night IOU

Oh one day at a time

Praying at the altar under neon lights

Though I feel this weight upon me I don’t fuss and I don't fight

I done too much wrongful living and I’m bound to make it right

I came here on my knees a halo on in my hand

Don’t tell the devil where I

Don’t tell the devil where I

Don’t tell the devil where I am
