Prompt / Lyrics
Ash in my coffee Gun by the bed Her perfume on my jacket Won’t cover what I did Cards on the counter Bible on the floor Bottle’s half empty I still beg it for more Whiskey, weed an women That’s the gospel that I broke Lovin’ and leavin’ every town I touch Turnin’ every promise into smoke Whiskey, weed an women,my three sins Tattooed on my crooked soul If heaven’s ever lookin’ for me It’s too late, the devil called me home Sheriff knows my first name,she took my last Judge knows my lies Preacher knows my secrets But he still won’t meet my eyes She said, “Baby,you’re a bad dream” I said, “Girl,that’s true” I was gone by the sunrise Left my shadow next to her Jackknifed at dawn dust in my teeth Empty bottle rolling like it’s breathing for me Whiskey on my shirt her name on my tongue I kiss the rim again pretend she ain’t gone Whiskey, weed,an women that’s the hymn I hum Every promise that I made turned to powder on my gums I’ve been loving,I’ve been leaving burning bridges just for fun Playing chess with the devil in Hell's den an he’s already won,checkmated me, Fools mated me She said I was trouble I said “that makes two” We carved our crooked halo in a motel room Left her in the doorway with one boot on She cried, “You’ll die alone” I just kept walking on that’s the hymn I hum Every promise that I made turned to powder on my gums I’ve been loving,I’ve been leaving burning bridges just for fun Playing chess with the devil in Hell's den and he’s already won Checkmated me,fools mated me We sit at a table out past right and wrong He moves first like he’s done this all along Says, “Son, pick your poison but you’re paying either way” I trade my queen for quiet he just laughs and lets her stay (oh) Whiskey,weed,an women my three sins that’s the hymn I hum I keep betting with my soul like I’m the only foolish one I’ve been loving,I’ve been leaving till my shadow comes undone Playing chess with the devil in Hell's den an I’m down to my last pawn Whiskey,weed an women That’s the gospel that I broke Lovin’ an leavin’ every town I touch Turnin’ every promise into smoke Whiskey, weed an women Tattooed on my crooked soul If heaven’s ever lookin’ for me It’s too late, the devil called me home I played chess with the devil in Hell's den In a bar past the end of the map Used my heart for a pawn,my name for a knight He just smiled and took ‘em back Said, “Son,you ain’t a villain You’re just scared to be a man” Then he crowned my last regret a queen And shook my trembling hand (oh) Whiskey,weed an women That’s the gospel that I broke Lovin’ an leavin’ every town I touch Turnin’ every promise into smoke Whiskey,weed an women Etched in every scar I own If mercy ever comes to find me tell um I'm not home,I'm gone,playing chess with the devil in Hell's den where angels dare not tread
