"Tempt The Devil" lyrics

Yeah, him and me, we got a long, dark history
He's gonna be the death of me, but what a way to go
A sweet misery, he must love my company
He won't give me any peace 'til he's got my soul
Lord knows I'm not strong enough to tell him no

It started way back with Adam and Eve
Trying not to eat the fruit off that poisonous tree
Now I can't resist the whiskey down in Tennessee
No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me
No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me

Here he is again on my shoulder whispering
It's just a little sin, no one's gotta know
Where's my angel been? I ain't seen her since God knows when
I guess she threw the towel in a long time ago
Now I'm down here giving heaven one hell of a show

It started way back with Adam and Eve
Trying not to eat the fruit off that poisonous tree
Now I'm hurtin' from the bourbon here in Kentucky
No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me
No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me

Now I can't resist the whiskey down in Tennessee
Now I'm hurtin' from the bourbon here in Kentucky
I don't look for trouble, but trouble finds me
No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me

It started way back with Adam and Eve
Trying not to eat the fruit off that poisonous tree
I don't look for trouble, but trouble finds me
No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me
No, I don't tempt the devil, but the devil tempts me
