Devil Don’t Sleep Lyrics by Coco Montoya

Hard Truth

0

The devil put a sign out on the edge of town
"Live it up now before they lay you down!"
They were standin' in line when I started to leave
The men and the women and a coupla thieves

Now the moon ain't shinin' and the stars just hide
I can't miss that train when it blows through here tonite
The hills are howlin' and the river rised
And the devil don't sleep tonite

Move on up a little higher
Save my soul from the burnin' fire
The Good book is my temple, Holy Spirit's my sword
And I won't rest until I see the Lord

The fox is in the hen house, he's handin' out keys
He's a cool politician set your mind at ease
Gonna leaved out the front door in the broad daylight
And you best believe he's eatin' chicken tonite

Mother Teresa's outside beggin' for a dime
She says she needs it to fix her busted spine
She says the burden is heavy but it suits me fine
Now gimme what you got and I tell you the time

She sang:
Move on up a little higher
Save my soul from the burnin' fires
The good Book is my temple, Holy Spirit's my sword
And I won't rest until I see my Lord

Look at the valley, it's strangely quiet
It's a cool misconception, I won't tell you no lies
If you look real hard and listen you will find
People screamin' out their window for redemption tonite
