Shake The Devil lyrics

Guess I had to find out the hard way The things that I have come here to learn Fire of this pleasure, it can warm me But in the end it only burns He could put me high on a pedestal He could rob me of my shame He could hold me down under water Till I could not remember my own name In my mind, I see the house I'm buildin' In my hands, the hammer and the nail Gonna send my wishes up to Glory Gonna shake that devil off my trail In my time I've done some meanness Brought the ones I love so much pain Pride, it was eatin' all my heart away My soul it was rustin' in the rain And all these sins I am confessin' They still come knockin' on my door But I know better than to answer I tell them that girl don't live here anymore In my mind, I see the house I'm buildin' In my hands, the hammer and the nail Gonna send my wishes up to Glory Gonna shake that devil off my trail Every livin' thing is callin' out to me The leaves on the trees wave me on Got a wind to lift me when I'm fallin' Got a road to put my feet upon In my mind, I see the house I'm buildin' In my hands, the hammer and the nail Gonna send my wishes up to Glory Gonna shake that devil off my trail In my mind, I see the house I'm buildin' In my hands, the hammer and the nail Gonna send my wishes up to Glory Gonna shake that devil off my trail Gonna shake that devil off my trail Gonna shake that devil off my trail
