The Devil I Know

A little outside of Elizabeth town
There's a little bar where I'd sit down
And trade a couple country songs for Kentucky Bourbon
A little ol' gal in the middle of the night
Learnin' how to love and learnin' how to fight
And learnin' how to like my brand of hurtin'

Hell, there's hell everywhere I go
I'm just sticking with the devil I know

Momma says, get my ass to church
Daddy says, get my ass to work
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
Everybody's got something to say
About how I gotta change my ways
But I got something to say of my own

Hell, there's hell everywhere I go
I'm just sticking with the devil I know

I love somebody everybody loves
And he's in love with my messed up
Most folks can't see my soul through the smoke
And we're suitcase marks on a hard wood floor
Flippin' the bird, slammin' the door
And peelin' out and turning 'round and coming home

But hell, there's hell everywhere I go
So I'm sticking with the devil I know

Momma says, get my ass to church
Daddy says, get my ass to work
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
Everybody's got something to say
About how I gotta change my ways
But I got something to say of my own

There's higher roads than I rode
And better choices than I chose
I'm just sticking with the devil I know (hey, hey)

(Hey, hey, whoa)

Momma says, get my ass to church
Daddy says, get my ass to work
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
Everybody's got something to say
About how I gotta change my ways
But I got something to say of my own

Hell, there's hell everywhere I go
So I'm sticking with the devil I know
