[Verse 1] You been prayin’ on the porch light Ashes in a coffee can Every preacher in the county Tried to put me in the ground I’m the name you never mention I’m that shadow in your smoke Still I’m parked out in your gravel Engine runnin’, half a joke (yeah) [Chorus] I’m the devil that you know Not the one you can’t see comin’ I’m the fire in your throat From the lies you keep on runnin’ You can change your hair, your town, your phone But you still pick up my call alone I’m the devil, I’m the devil that you know (that you know, that you know) [Verse 2] You wear silver on your fingers Hide the flask behind your bed Say you’re done with all my thunder But you chase my lightning instead Every time you swear you’re sober I’m that bottle in your drawer Every exit on the highway Still drifts back to my front door (hey) [Chorus] I’m the devil that you know Not the stranger in the mirror I’m the echo in your bones Growlin’ “come a little nearer” You can break my heart, my glass, my soul But you still come back to lose control I’m the devil, I’m the devil that you know (that you know, that you know) [Bridge] You could ride off clean at sunrise You could burn my old bar down But your hands shake on the handle When you try to turn around ‘Cause heaven feels like Sunday clothes And you hate that starched-up feel So you dance with me in busted boots Where the deal already’s sealed [Chorus] I’m the devil that you know Not the one they write in stories I’m the mud on Sunday clothes And the rust on borrowed glory You can change your faith, your fate, your road But you still walk where my wind blows I’m the devil, I’m the devil that you know I’m the devil, I’m the devil that you know
