The Devil Card

[Verse 1] Pulled the Devil on a Friday night Two souls chained in the firelight Horns and torches and a twisted grin And a feelin' that I'd been there again [Verse 2] It's the bottle that you swore you'd leave It's the lover that you won't stop to grieve It's the habit that you hide from view It's the chain that's got a hold of you [Chorus] But look real close at the Devil card The chains are loose, it ain't that hard Paul Hesch'll tell you what the old ones knew You can lift that chain, it's up to you [Verse 3] I spent years believin' I was bound Cursed to keep on goin' round and round But the cards don't lie and the truth is plain I could've walked away from that rusty chain [Chorus] But look real close at the Devil card The chains are loose, it ain't that hard Paul Hesch'll tell you what the old ones knew You can lift that chain, it's up to you [Verse 4] The Devil ain't a monster from below He's the fear that keeps you from lettin' go He's the voice that says you'll never change And he's a liar, and that ain't strange [Verse 5] So if you pull him on a lonesome night Don't you panic, don't you take a fright Just reach up slow and lift that chain And walk on out into the rain [Chorus] But look real close at the Devil card The chains are loose, it ain't that hard Paul Hesch'll tell you what the old ones knew You can lift that chain, it's up to you
