When The Devil Has You

To that old country church house Up on xxx mountain
Mom and daddy took us faithfully With that old mountain preacher He tried to save our souls
But it never made much sense to me

When he talked about Jesus He couldn't help but cry
When he talked about the devil There was fire in his eyes
Said you got two choices It's heaven or it's hell
Oh Satan's out to get you Boy I know this all to well

He said when he gets a hold of you It's hard to walk away
You'll go further than you want to go Stay longer than you want to stay
So get your heart right brother His blood will make you new You're just a dead man walking When the devil has you

My first shot of whiskey Made me feel like a man
I heard those words that preacher spoke About the time I couldn't stand
I learned all that he could do And everything I can't
He got inside my heart
And saved me from the devils hands

He said when he gets a hold of you It's hard to walk away
You'll go further than you want to go Stay longer than you want to stay
So get your heart right brother His blood will make you new You're just a dead man walking When the devil has you

So get your heart right brother His blood will make you new You're just a dead man walking When the devil has you

You're just a dead man walking When the devil has you
