lyrics

Will you walk inside this evening, and you ask how I am.
And you say that you’re sorry for the dozenth time again.
And I don’t know where you go, no I don’t know where you’ve been.
You got ten other boys just like me cursing you for your sins.

I seen the devil downtown in a cold corner bar
He was drinking bourbon whiskey and smoking a cigar
He said "Yeah, I’ve got the bible but I ain’t got no car.
I’ve been trying all my life but I ain’t got too far.”

So girl you think that white dress will set you above the rest.
But I’ve been though your closet, I now your secrets.
Well I won’t buy your alibis your lies you tell me
What you had was good girl, and soon you will see

I seen the devil he was kind and polite
He wore a shiny suit and said his words just right
He bought me a drink and we talked all night
Even devils believe in angels and tremble at their sight

Well it’s okay girl, yeah I know what you’re up to
I’m doing fine I guess, no there’s nothing you need do
I know the good Lord’s with me, yeah, I’ll get what’s due.
Yeah, I’ll get what’s coming to me, you get what’s coming to you.

I seen the devil downtown in a cold corner bar
He was drinking bourbon whiskey and smoking a cigar
He said "Yeah I’ve got the bible but I ain’t got no car.
You can try all your life but you might not get that far.”
I seen the devil he was kind and polite
He wore a shiny suit, he said his words just right
He bought me a drink and we talked all night
Even devils believe in angels and tremble at their sight

Anthony Leon Eustis, Florida

Anthony Leon is a ‘two steppin’, head bangin’ songbird. An energetic rock‘n’roll poet with a penchant for words and a passion for story – fancy boots, and a PBR t-shirt, a loose tongue and impressive side burns, driving 5 under on the highway with the windows down and the radio blaring. Anthony Leon is a storyteller, weaving his sermon of love and loss, feast & famine in with your own. . ... more
