Verse 1
I was runnin’ with the shadows, barely holdin’ on,
Tryin’ to drown the hurt till the hurt was gone.
I was one bad night from a six‑foot grave,
But Jesus stepped in with the power to save.
The devil thought he owned me, thought he sealed my fate,
Thought he had my soul locked behind hell’s gate.
But mercy broke through like a bullet from a gun—
And that’s the night the devil lost a good one.
Chorus
Yeah, the devil lost a good one, a fighter, a son,
A man with a story that’s only just begun.
I walked through the fire, but I didn’t stay—
My Jesus reached down and He made a way.
From the hollers to the heavens, let the whole world know:
The devil lost a good one… when he let me go.
Verse 2
I was chained to the bottle, chained to the pain,
Chained to the lies runnin’ wild in my brain.
But grace hit hard like a mountain storm,
Broke every shackle I was livin’ in before.
Now I’m raisin’ my kids with a heart made new,
Tryin’ to live a life they can look up to.
I’m a walkin’ miracle, a brand‑new man—
Proof hell can’t stop what Heaven began.
Chorus
Yeah, the devil lost a good one, a fighter, a son,
A man with a purpose that’s only just begun.
I walked through the fire, but I didn’t stay—
My Jesus reached down and He made a way.
From the hollers to the heavens, let the whole world know:
The devil lost a good one… when he let me go.

Yeah, the devil lost a good one, a fighter, a son,
A man with a testimony second to none.
I walked through hell, but I didn’t stay—
My Jesus reached down and He made a way.
From the hollers to the heavens, hear my victory sung:
The devil lost a good one… and I’m the one.

Lost a good one… lost a good one…
The devil lost a good one when Jesus won…
