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 sticking with the devil I know
[Chorus]
Momma 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 something to say
About how I gotta change my ways
But I got something to say of my own
Hell, there's hell everywhere I go
I'm just sticking 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 hard wood floor
Flippin' the bird, slammin' the door And peelin' out and turning 'round and coming home

[Pre-Chorus]
But hell, there's hell everywhere I go
So I'm sticking with the devil I know

[Chorus]
Momma 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 something to say
About how I gotta change my ways
But I got something to say of my own
[Bridge]
There's higher roads than I rode
And better choices than I chose
I'm just sticking with the devil I know (Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, whoa)

[Chorus]
Momma 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 something to say
About how I gotta change my ways
But I got something to say of my own

[Outro]
Hell, there's hell everywhere I go
So I'm sticking with the devil I know
