Lyrics
Starin' the Devil Down
He's a southern man
Sippin' on the grain
He's a cool hand luke
Laughin' at his fate
There's a black sedan
Hell is at the wheel
It's a one night stand
Nothin' left to deal
Chorus Better get ready, gonna get heavy
Walkin' the wire, washed in the fire
Better get runnin', its comin' undone and
Oh baby, there's no way out
Burnin' it to the ground
Starin' the devil down
He's your first mistake
It won't be your last
Habit you can't shake
Bottom of the glass
It's a naggin' itch
Tappin' at your vein
Like a wounded dog
Chewin' on his chain
Repeat chorus
Bridge Your demons comfort you like angels
Surround you like familiar strangers
It's a single slip
Makes a body fall
Its a steady drip
Breakin' down the wall
He's the best excuse
And the worse mistake
There ain't no cure
Nothin' you can take
Repeat chorus
