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
