Temptation Lyrics

My hands are shaking cold, but my heart's filled with desire
And I can feel the heat beneath my feet, but the flames keep burning higher
My temptation's rolling round every corner of this town
It's gonna take a lot more to keep this Tennessee man down

Between the whiskey and the women in this country playin' town
I'm gonna put my faith in the fear of God into turning my life around

It's all smoke and mirrors and dust in my eyes
The devil's' golden fiddle is one hell of a prize
Well I guess I've done enough to earn my soul's eternal damnation
But I ain't gonna stop until I reach my destination

Just the other day, the good lord was testing me with a blonde hair, blue-eyed honey that sat down right next to me
Well I could tell that there was something by the way she looked at me
But I ain't no cheatin' man, that's not how my momma raised me Between the whiskey and the women in this country playin' town
I'm gonna put my faith in the fear of God into turning my life around

It's all smoke and mirrors and dust in my eyes
The devil's' golden fiddle is one hell of a prize
Well I guess I've done enough to earn my soul's eternal damnation
But I ain't gonna stop until I reach my destination

Well I guess it's my time to head through the pearly gates
St. Peter asked me if I regret anything
And I said
“between the whiskey and women in that country playin' town
Well I put my faith in the fear of God and I turned my life around"

It's all smoke and mirrors and dust in my eyes
The devil's golden fiddle was one hell of a prize
Well I guess I've done enough to earn my soul's eternal damnation
Told you I wasn't gonna stop until I reach my destination
