lyrics

DEVIL DOWN

I'm gonna drive my devil down,
put my black dog in the ground.
He's on the run now, I'm chasing the sun now,

today the hare humbles the hound.
I'm gonna drive (gonna drive)
gonna drive (gonna drive)
my devil down (devil down).

No more my shoulder for his roost,
no more his whisper to seduce.
He's over a barrel, and I've got an arrow
to break the chains, and set me loose.
By & by (by & by) rope & tie (rope and tie)
my devil down (devil down) devil down.

I've been turning pages before the story's ended,
stuck in open cages, lied to by, tied to my devil in me.

Not every dreamer makes a dream,
some folks will always swim upstream.
But I won't give in while I'm livin'--
I'm taking maps and gasoline,

and I'm gonna drive, (gonna drive),
gonna drive, (gonna drive)
my devil down (devil down), devil down, (devil down).
I'm gonna drive (gonna drive),
gonna drive (gonna drive)
my devil down (devil down), devil down, (devil down).
I'm gonna drive (gonna drive), gonna drive — my devil down.
