Devil, Devil(Prelude: Princess Of Darkness) (Explicit) - Eric Church

This town she is a temptress

A siren with gold eyes

She'll cut you with her kindness

She will lead you with her lies

She's been called a glistening devil

She's good at keeping score

If you make it she's your savior

If you don't she's a whore

The roads to and from her heart

Are littered with grave souls

They gave all of their all and

All they got in return is empty holes

Sure we've all heard about Shell

And Chris Willy and Bobby Bares

She'd smiled on Johnny's the Merles

Any music-wrote billionaires

Like a beacon she goes seeking seed

Her loins so fertile

To a free man she's a prison

To a caged one she's a fire

She's the reason

There's a Sunday morning coming down

I saw the light A Boy Named Sue

He stopped loving her today

The pill and 16th avenue

The rhyming oh she's a diamond

The brown eyed mickey

She was Roy acuffs castle

And elvis parsley's broken dream

It's not all bad it's not all dark

It's not all gloom and crass

But to mine gold in this silver mine

It does take balls of brass

For she's seem 'em come and seen 'em go

And came herself a time or two

No matter how satisfied her scream sounds

She always wants someone new

The next him or her or them or all

To be a star in this lady's town

You can f**k or you can fight

You see it all comes down to money

Not romantic art of days gone past

If you forget that rule

You can bet your backside

She will bury it in your a**

A tramp a slut a b**ch a mutt

A thousand pawn shop guitars

A nasty little needle to a vein

That feeds a singers heart

She lurks in friendly shadows;

But she's a junky with a limb

The agents are her bookie

And the labels are her pen

I'll tell you a well-known secret of a place

Known far and wide

The devil walks among us folks

And Nashville is his bride

All the chaos he has caused and done

His greatest tribute to every guitar-totin' dreamer

The devil don't but me I shook his hand

And I know that he is real

So devil you can go screw yourself

And then go straight the hell
