Honky Tonk Demon

I wish I could explain to you

What happens in my mind

That makes me do the things I do

Time after time

Something in my soul

I can't control

Keeps pulling me away

It shows up here

About sundown

Stays til' night all day

There's a honky tonk demon

Somewhere inside of me

And it don't matter where I go

He still won't let me be

I thought your love could change me

But still I can't let go

Of this honky tonk demon in my soul

Well I want you to know, sweetheart

It's nothing that you've done

It's something that I've always been

Not something I've become

No it wasn't you

Who draws me to

This smokey down lit place

That old demon knows just where I'll go

When we come face to face

There's a honky tonk demon

Somewhere inside of me

And it don't matter where I go

He still won't let me be

I thought your love could change me

But still I can't let go

Of this honky tonk demon in my soul

Well I thought your love could change me

But still I can't let go

Of this honky tonk demon in my soul
