lyrics

No sleepy-sleep no sleepy-eyes get wide no countin' sheep
Devil's on that highway got to keep my promise got to keep my
No counting cars no gazing stars no grazing cows no cattle
Get rattled on that road that shoulder won't hurt boulder let's go

Devil's on that highway
Devil's on that highway
Tryin' to get in my way but I'm gonna see those lights, babe
Make it to the city
She'll sleep and feed me
The Devil's on the road he won't be in no hotel

I'm getting closer by the hour even closer yet
I'm on my way

Devil's in my hotel
Devil's in my hotel
Don't kiss and don't tell
No foreplay no-way Jose!
Devil's on that barstool
Makin' eyes across the room
The Devil's wearing denim nursing gin and wanting in

I'm getting closer by the hour even closer yet
I'm almost there

I saw that ocean rising up in front of me
There's somethin 'bout the air is always sweeter by the sea
I can't remember the last time that I breathed this deep
I left the Devil in the desert now I'm coasting free
Take me to the coast man I'm free

Just one little note
Little bit of a footnote
Include as addendum
Attach with appendices
See when I hit that road
well he came with me
yeah he came with me
yea he came with me

Devil's in my guitar
Devil's in my guitar
No matter how far he always seems to be there
Devil wants a solo
Devil he flies solo
I told him I don't know that solo may be a no go

I'm getting closer by the hour even closer yet
I'm coming home

Their newest release Head Down Heart Up is no exception, boasting anthemic hooks, poignant lyrics, infectious energy and oh so much heart! ... more
