The Devil’s Waiting at My Door

[Intro] Ain’t the wind, ain’t the rain, ain’t the world spinnin’ round… It’s claws on the floor, it’s breath at the door… [Verse 1] I been drinkin’, I been runnin’, I been hidin’ from my sins. But a man don’t get forever, And my time is runnin’ thin. There’s a shadow in the alley, Two red eyes in the dark, I smell the sulfur, feel the hunger, And I know he’s come to start. [Chorus] The Devil’s waiting at my door… Ain’t no man, ain’t no storm… Four black paws, breath so cold, Come to drag me where the lost souls go. [Verse 2] I heard the stories, I knew the game, Hellhounds don’t bark, they don’t call your name. They don’t chase, they don’t bite, They just wait till the time is right. And I don’t beg, I don’t pray, I knew this deal the night I stayed. The whiskey’s gone, the cards are played, Now the debt’s got to be paid. [Chorus] The Devil’s waiting at my door… Ain’t no man, ain’t no storm… Four black paws, breath so cold, Come to drag me where the lost souls go. [Bridge] You ever seen a beast with eyes so red? Ever felt the cold when there ain’t no wind? I ain’t a saint, I ain’t a king, I knew one day I’d hear him sing. And Lord, he’s hummin’ now, low and deep, A song made for the souls he keeps. And I ain't beggin’, I ain't scared, I just wonder what’s waitin’ there. [Final Chorus] The Devil’s waiting at my door… Ain’t no man, ain’t no storm… Four black paws, breath so cold, Come to drag me where the lost souls go.
