[Verse 1] She came in late with a grocery bag Bare feet soft on the pine Said “I’m just here to borrow sugar” But her smile said borrow your time She laughed at the screen door creak Like she knew what it meant And I saw trouble in a ribbon Tied around her innocent [Pre-Chorus] She leaned in close Said “You alright?” Then she touched my sleeve And held that light Handclaps in the hall My heart took flight There’s something in her eyes tonight [Chorus] The devil in her nightgown The devil in her nightgown She turns my good sense upside down The devil in her nightgown The devil in her nightgown (Devil in her nightgown) She says “come on” And I’m gone [Verse 2] She made sweet tea in my mason jar Stirred it slow with a grin Talked about church and county roads And the wicked things tucked in My mama warned me years ago About a smile like that But I was already halfway lost When she slid that hat off back [Pre-Chorus] She leaned in close Said “You alright?” Then she kissed my cheek And lit the night Handclaps in the hall My heart took flight There’s something in her eyes tonight [Chorus] The devil in her nightgown The devil in her nightgown She turns my good sense upside down The devil in her nightgown The devil in her nightgown (Devil in her nightgown) She says “come on” And I’m gone [Bridge] Now the porch light’s low And the crickets sing Her perfume’s still On everything I tried to pray But I know how it sounds When the devil wears a nightgown [Final Chorus] The devil in her nightgown The devil in her nightgown She turns my good sense upside down The devil in her nightgown The devil in her nightgown (Devil in her nightgown) She says “come on” And I’m gone
