Devil On My Trail

[Intro] [Verse 1] I was young when I took to the shadows, Didn’t answer to no God or man. Took what I wanted, left others broken— Lived life by a thievin’ hand. And one cold night on a lonely highway, A stranger stepped out of the dark. Said, “Son, I can give you the whole damn world— All I need is a piece of your heart.” [Chorus] Now there’s a Devil on my trail, and he’s callin’ my name, Comin’ to settle every debt I made. I lived for myself, and I burned every bridge— Thought I was free, but I’m hell’s own kid. Now the truth comes down like a coffin lid— There’s a Devil… On my trail. [Verse 2] He gave me silver, he gave me whiskey, Gave me pride enough to d***n. I left good people in the ashes, Left better men beneath the ground. Every lie he whispered felt like freedom, Every sin felt like a crown. But I didn’t see the chains he forged— Till they finally pulled me down. [Chorus] Now there’s a Devil on my trail, and he’s callin’ my name, Comin’ to settle every debt I made. I lived for myself, and I burned every bridge— Thought I was free, but I’m hell’s own kid. Now the truth comes down like a coffin lid— There’s a Devil… On my trail. [Bridge] I can’t outrun the man I was, Can’t hide from the b***d on my boots. The Devil said “Son, you sowed your pain— Now you’re just harvestin’ the truth.” [Final Chorus] Now there’s a Devil on my trail, and he’s claimin’ his due, Countin’ the souls that I once knew. If the good Lord’s watchin’, He’s watchin’ me fall, But mercy don’t answer when the Devil calls. And I walk that road till the darkness ends— With the Devil… On my trail. [Outro]
