Devil In A Denim Jacket

(Verse 1)

He showed up like a warning I ignored in the wind

Dust on his boots, trouble tucked in his grin

Said, “Girl, where you headed?” like he already knew

Like the night bent its knees just to let him walk through

There was smoke in his voice, little sin in his tone

Like a matchstick flick sparkin’ where I stood alone

Mama said, “Don’t you dance with a flame in the dark”

But he lit up my name like a brand on his heart

(Pre-Chorus)

I should’ve seen it comin’ in the way he smiled

Like heaven takes a break for a little while

(Chorus)

He’s a devil in a denim jacket

Blue jean sinner, heart automatic

Pull me in like a loaded habit

Kiss me once and I can’t unpack it

Red eyes hiding in the shadow he casts

Sweet little lies that I wanna believe so bad

He don’t love me, but he don’t have to

He’s a devil in a denim jacket

(Verse 2)

We were tangled in a backroad, nowhere to be found

Radio preachin’ while we’re breakin’ every vow

He traced every scar like a map of my sins

Said, “Heaven ain’t real if it don’t feel like this”

There was whiskey on his breath, and a storm in his touch

Every “don’t go further” just made me want him more, too much

I could feel every line that I swore I won’t cross

Start to blur in the heat of gettin’ lost

(Pre-Chorus)

I knew better, but I let him in

Guess forever ain’t afraid of a little hell again

(Chorus)

He’s a devil in a denim jacket

Blue jean sinner, heart automatic

Pull me in like a loaded habit

Kiss me once and I can’t unpack it

Red eyes hiding in the shadow he casts

Sweet little lies that I wanna believe so bad

He don’t love me, but he don’t have to

He’s a devil in a denim jacket

(Bridge)

Yeah, I saw the horns in the silhouette

Moonlight made a promise I ain’t kept yet

If this is wrong, I don’t wanna be right

I’d burn forever just to feel him one more night

Oh, I tried to run, but I like the chase

Every bad decision got his hands on my waist

Ain’t no saving grace when I’m in his arms

Just a fallen angel dancing with the dark

(Breakdown / Whispered)

He said, “Baby, I ain’t heaven sent…”

I said, “I don’t care where the hell you went…”

(Final Chorus)

He’s a devil in a denim jacket

Blue jean sinner, heart automatic

Every touch just keeps me comin’ back

Yeah, I know the truth but I keep on actin’

Red eyes burning in the shadow he casts

Every goodbye just keeps bringing me back

He don’t love me, but I don’t have to

I fell hard for the hell he dragged me through

(Outro)

Yeah, he left me where the road turns black

With a half-empty heart and his name on my back

Still feel his ghost every time I pass it…

That devil… in that damn denim jacket
