I ain’t no damn fool, I just speak my mind,
Cry me a river, I’ll leave it behind.
Trouble keeps knockin’, I’m never prepared,
But even the devil steps back, ‘cause he’s scared.
Got a spark in my eye, yeah, it’s ready to shine,
Could set this whole town on fire ‘fore the end of the night.
You can throw me your thunder, I’ll meet it with grace,
I was runnin’ from trouble ‘fore I learned to walk in this place.
I’ve been running through hell, and the flames won’t fade,
Even the devil won’t walk where my bones have laid.
I’m a sinner with scars that the night can’t hide,
And the devil turns back when he sees my stride.
I’ve stared down the darkness, I’ve bled in the rain,
I’ve carried the weight, I’ve swallowed the pain.
Every shadow I’ve faced leaves the devil inspired,
But I know he’s still lurkin’ past my smoke and fire.
I’ve been running through hell, and the flames won’t fade,
Even the devil won’t walk where my bones have laid.
I’m a sinner with scars that the night can’t hide,
And the devil turns back when he sees my stride.
Yeah, the devil turns back…
But I feel him behind…
Every step I’m taking,
I’m just buying time.
