Lyrics

Run Devil Run

Always been on the wrong side of trouble
One hand on a never ending bottle
A lone ranger livin full throttle to who knows where
Half good half bad half empty
Trying to drown last night's memories
Lord help me the devil loves whiskey and I do too

Don't know what she saw when she me
But a woman like her changes everything

She makes the devil run run
Back to where he came from
Like a bullet from a gun
She knocks him dead with undying love
And I am the one lucky one
Who's got the heart she drove him from
And I thank God she makes that devil run devil run

I didn't know what I was missing
Lost hope on being forgiven
Thought Heaven never find my soul til she found me
She saved me and didn't even know it
Filled up a heart full of lonely
Rewrote the end of the story and here I am

She makes the devil run run
Back to where he came from
Like a bullet from a gun
She knocks him dead with undying love
And I am the one lucky one
Who's got the heart she drove him from
And I thank God she makes that devil run devil run
She makes that devil run...

-SOLO-

Still don't know what she sees in me
But I'm flying now cause she's got wings

She makes that devil run run
Back to where he came from
Like a bullet from a gun
She knocks him dead with undying love
And I am the one...lucky one
Who's got the heart she drove him from
And I thank God she makes that devil run devil run
Yeah she makes that devil ruuuuuun... run devil run....run devil run... run devil run
