Met the Devil in Oklahoma

Met the Devil in Oklahoma

He had eyes black as the night

He said he came from North Dakota

Wanna take me on a ride

I asked him why he came to visit me

He said that's just what he does

Met the Devil in Oklahoma

And he knew who I was

I've been sittin' on a river bank

Prayin' in Jesus name

To come and save my soul

I know time was never on my side

I've been waitin' for forever now

Hopin' that he comes around

Pulls me outta this hole

'Cause I've run out of places to hide

Met the Devil in Oklahoma

He shied from the light

Said, "I just wanna get to know ya"

Couldn't see through his disguise

Took a step in the wrong direction

He got his hold on me

Met the Devil in Oklahoma

It's a tough time gettin' free

I've been sittin' on a river bank

Prayin' in Jesus name

To come and save my soul

I know time was never on my side

I've been waitin' for forever now

Hopin' that he comes around

Pulls me outta this hole

'Cause I've run out of places to hide

Will I make it out alive

Or have my feet done crossed the line?

Lord, won't you tell me?

Will I make it out alive?

Have my feet done crossed the line?

Lord, won't you tell me?

'Cause I've been sittin' on a river bank

Prayin' in Jesus name

Come and save my soul

I know time was never on my side

I've been waitin' for forever now

Hopin' that he comes around

Pulls me outta this hole

'Cause I've run out of places to hide
