The devil calls my name but I won's answer
He's always on my back but I won't take it
He follows me for miles and miles
That day I go insane, sayin
I've been runnin' from the devil, Oh
He haunts me with skeletons in my closet
He's hoping I will add another sin
But when I fall, I'll get back up
I hope the Lord will let me in, cause
I've been runnin' from the devil, Oh
All these years I keep tryin'
When I'm tired of living but scared of dyin'
But through blood and bone
Won't let that demon catch me, cause
I've been runnin' from the devil, Oh
I'm a branded man, the prodigal son returning home
Sweat and tears and burning fears of fire and brimstone
I'm a grizzled man with calloused hands
Walkin' down that beaten path, alone
Oh I've been runnin' from the devil
Oh I've been runnin' from the devil
I've been runnin' from the devil
Oh
The devil calls my name but I won't answer
