Subject: Saved by Big & Rich
I'm pretty sure that Big & Rich wrote this one themselves.
There was a time I tried to kill a man
Just for lookin' at me wrong
Anger so strong, I couldn't stop myself
I was killin' myself one shot a time
Goin' insane from the pain
The women and the wine
But I finally hit bottom in an alleyway
Hell wasn't but a breath away
So I hit my knees in the street
And begged God for mercy
(CHORUS)
Last night I told the devil where to go
You know heaven's got my soul
Ain't gonna listen to his lies no more
Last night I told the devil where to go
Coulda saved myself a lot of hurtin' time
If I'd have just listen to my mom
Evey time she cried
But I was way too lost in a sinner's haze
Burnin' up the days, just another young man
Who had lost his ways
Now it finally makes sense what the preacher said
When he said "Son, you don't wanna wake up dead
And find yourself alone in the fires of hell"
Everybody..
(repeat chorus)
Now when you hear that demon knockin' at your door
You just tell him you don't want his time 'round here no more
'Cause if you wanna love, if you wanna live
If you wanna be free, you can't forget and forgive
You've gotta kick him in the teeth and do exactly
Do exactly what I did
Last night I told the devil where to go
You know heaven's got my soul
Ain't gonna listen to his lies no more
Last night I told the devil
Last night I told the devil
Last night I told the devil
Last night I told the devil
Last night I told the devil...
I told the devil where to go
("La la la"s at the end)
