lyrics

V1:
Pretty girls will be the death of me
I keep falling for the most toxic of them
Maybe poison rushes through my veins
Or I just haven’t learned my lesson
When they flash me a beautiful smile
That’s all it takes for me to fall
But sometimes we make bad choices
We don’t know a person as well as we think
I keep thinking I’ve met an angel
Instead I’ve found a sinner
I’ve never touched a drop of whiskey
But I’m ready to walk into a bar And tell that bartender to pour me a drink
Chorus:
I’ve met the Devil’s daughters
They had me wrapped around their fingers Then wrapped their fingers around my neck Why don’t he just do it himself? I’m sure as hell the Devil wants me dead
V2:
What is it about me that attracts his girls? Is there some place I went wrong?
Look, I’ve always been a good man
I might not go to church on Sundays But that’s because I’m working real hard Do I keep breaking mirrors in my sleep?
This bad luck has gone on for far too long
Maybe it’s all apart of God’s plan
I’m just not sure where my faith lies anymore I’ve also never been a gambling man
But every time I take a chance on someone I end up drawing a losing hand I’m convinced I’ll never draw the winning card
Bridge:
Somebody get me a doctor
Pump my veins pull of morphine
I don’t want to feel a goddamn thing
Somebody get me a bartender
Drown my liver in whiskey
I want to forget she ever kissed me
Somebody get me a shotgun
Blow my brain full of lead
I know the Devil wants me dead
And he sure as hell won’t quit Until his mission is done
Outro:
I’ve been through hell all these years Somehow I keep coming back
I’ve got a sense of hope that just won’t die
I’ve had my moments of weakness and doubt
That’s what the Devil wants
He can send all his daughters after me
You bet I’ll find an angel one day
All the pain will be worth the pleasure
And I can kiss the lips of the woman I love
Instead of kissing a bottle of whiskey
