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 stickin' with the devil I know

Mama 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 somethin' to say

About how I gotta change my ways

But I got somethin' to say of my own

Hell, there's hell everywhere I go

I'm just stickin' 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 hardwood floor

Flippin' the bird, slammin' the door

And peelin' out and turnin' 'round and comin' home

But hell, there's hell everywhere I go

So I'm stickin' with the devil I know

Mama 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 somethin' to say

About how I gotta change my ways

But I got somethin' to say of my own

There's higher roads than I rode

And better choices than I chose

I'm just stickin' with the devil I know

Hey, hey

Hey, hey, whoa

Mama 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 somethin' to say

About how I gotta change my ways

But I got somethin' to say of my own

Hell, there's hell everywhere I go

So I'm stickin' with the devil I know
