Tempt the Devil

Yeah, him and me, we got a long, dark history

He's gonna be the death of me, but what a way to go

A sweet misery, he must love my company

He won't give me any peace 'til he's got my soul

Lord knows I'm not strong enough to tell him no

It started way back with Adam and Eve

Trying not to eat the fruit off that poisonous tree

Now I can't resist the whiskey down in Tennessee

No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me

No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me

Here he is again on my shoulder whispering

It's just a little sin, no one's gotta know

Where's my angel been? I ain't seen her since God knows when

I guess she threw the towel in a long time ago

Now I'm down here giving heaven one hell of a show

It started way back with Adam and Eve

Trying not to eat the fruit off that poisonous tree

Now I'm hurtin' from the bourbon here in Kentucky

No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me

No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me

Now I can't resist the whiskey down in Tennessee

Now I'm hurtin' from the bourbon here in Kentucky

I don't look for trouble, but trouble finds me

No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me

It started way back with Adam and Eve

Trying not to eat the fruit off that poisonous tree

I don't look for trouble, but trouble finds me

No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me

No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me
