[Verse 1]
I rolled out of bed in boots
Red dirt on my jeans
Mama said, "Girl, stay sweet"
I said, "I got my own mean"
My heart's got a hard backbeat
My heels hit honest wood
If the world wants a piece of me
I'm the kind that takes it good
[Pre-Chorus]
I got fire in my laughter
And trouble on my name
You can pray for my salvation
But I'm dancing just the same
[Chorus]
Devil in the dust
Devil in the dust
I shake it off and strut
Devil in the dust
Devil in the dust
I turn that hurt to rust
(Devil in the dust)
[Verse 2]
Crows on the fence post
Sunburn on the fence line
County roads and cold beer
I was raised to draw the line
If the night gets heavy
I don't fold, I get loud
Got a soul that can outlast
Any shadow hanging 'round
[Pre-Chorus]
I got fire in my laughter
And trouble on my name
You can pray for my salvation
But I'm dancing just the same
[Chorus]
Devil in the dust
Devil in the dust
I shake it off and strut
Devil in the dust
Devil in the dust
I turn that hurt to rust
(Devil in the dust)
[Bridge]
Let the hard times holler
Let the good girls run
I'm a little bit wicked
And a whole lot of fun
You can call me danger
You can call my bluff
But I was born to sparkle
With a little hell in my blood
[Chorus]
Devil in the dust
Devil in the dust
I shake it off and strut
Devil in the dust
Devil in the dust
I turn that hurt to rust
(Devil in the dust)
