(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
