"The Devil I Know" lyrics - ASHLEY MCBRYDE

A little outside of Elizabethtown
There's a little bar where I'd sit down
And trade a couple country songs for Kentucky Bourbon
A little ol' gal in the middle of the night
Learnin' how to love and learnin' how to fight
And learnin' how to like my brand of hurtin'

[Pre-Chorus:]
Hell, there's hell everywhere I go
I'm just stickin' with the devil I know

[Chorus:]
Mama says get my ass to church
Daddy says get my ass to work
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
Everybody's got somethin' to say
About how I gotta change my ways
But I got somethin' to say of my own
Hell, there's hell everywhere I go
I'm just stickin' with the devil I know

I love somebody everybody loves
And he's in love with my messed up
Most folks can't see my soul through the smoke
And we're suitcase marks on a hardwood floor
Flippin' the bird, slammin' the door
And peelin' out and turnin' 'round and comin' home

[Pre-Chorus:]
But hell, there's hell everywhere I go
So I'm stickin' with the devil I know

[Chorus:]
Mama says get my ass to church
Daddy says get my ass to work
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
Everybody's got somethin' to say
About how I gotta change my ways
But I got somethin' to say of my own
There's higher roads than I rode
And better choices than I chose
I'm just stickin' with the devil I know

[Post-Chorus:]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, whoa

[Chorus:]
Mama says get my ass to church
Daddy says get my ass to work
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
Everybody's got somethin' to say
About how I gotta change my ways
But I got somethin' to say of my own
Hell, there's hell everywhere I go
So I'm stickin' with the devil I know
