The Devil’s Hangin’ Tree

[Intro] Old tree standin’ Against the mornin’ sky Devil’s waitin’ [Verse 1] Rope is ready Swingin’ in the breeze They picked this spot Under the devil’s tree Roots run deep Like the sins I’ve sown Branches reach high To carry me home [Chorus] The devil’s hangin’ tree Callin’ out my name One more sunrise Then I’ll feel the pain Leaves are shakin’ But my hands are still Devil’s hangin’ tree I’m payin’ the bill [Verse 2] Wind through the leaves Sounds like ghosts I’ve made Men I left bleedin’ In the mess I laid No preacher comin’ No last words to say Just this old oak Waitin’ for my weight [Chorus] The devil’s hangin’ tree Callin’ out my name One more sunrise Then I’ll feel the pain Leaves are shakin’ But my hands are still Devil’s hangin’ tree I’m payin’ the bill [Bridge] I see my life Hangin’ from that limb All the wrong turns Led me straight to him No escape now No more runnin’ free Just me and the devil Under this tree [Chorus] The devil’s hangin’ tree Callin’ out my name One more sunrise Then I’ll feel the pain Leaves are shakin’ But my hands are still Devil’s hangin’ tree This is the end [Outro] Devil’s tree Take me I’m ready
