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)
