The Devil I Know

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A little outside of Elizabethtown 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' [Pre-Chorus] Hell, there's hell everywhere I go I'm just stickin' with the devil I know [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] But hell, there's hell everywhere I go So I'm stickin' with the devil I know [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] Hey, hey Hey, hey, whoa [Chorus] 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
