Saved

Was a time I tried to kill a man Just a lookin' at me wrong Anger so strong, I couldn't stop myself Well I was killin' myself one shot at a time Goin insane from the pain, the women, and the wine But I fin'lly hit bottom in an alleyway Hell wasn't but a breath away So I hit my knees in the street and begged God for mercy (chorus) Last night I told the devil where to go You know heaven's got my soul Ain't gonna listen to his lies no more Last night, I told the devil where to go I coulda saved myself a lotta hurtin' time If I'da just listened to my mamma, every time she cried Well I was way too lost in a sinners haze Burnin' up the days, Just another young man who had lost his way Now it finally makes sense what the preacher said When he said "Son, you don't wanna wake up dead, And find yourself alone in the fires of hell." Yeah everybody (chorus) Last night, I told the devil where to go Now when you hear that demon knockin at your door you just tell him you don't want his hide 'round here no more Cuz if you wanna love, if you wanna live, if you wanna be free, you can't forget and forgive, you gotta kick him in the teeth and do exactly, do exactly what I did yeah (chorus) Last night, I told the devil Last night, I told the devil Last night, I told the devil Last night, I told the devil Last night, I told the devil I told the devil where to go
