Lyrics
The devil?s gone
Verse:
Born a southern girl, raised in the Bible belt, my daddy was preacher man, he taught us about heaven and hell, and he said girl you need to understand.
The devil is real and he is out for the kill and he?ll come to you in perfect disguise, though I knew it was true, I knew it couldn?t be you, I saw heaven in your eyes.
Chorus:
My daddy tried to warn me, my mama yelled and scorned but the devil made me say I do, hell?s gates opened wide and I stepped inside, the day I married you.
Verse:
My daddy?s words became loud and clear, he said you sin and you?re gonna pay, but remember this, salvation comes in a lot of different way.
So, I ran for my life, I?m not longer your wife, praise the lord, I finally got saved, daddy was right, heaven?s now in sight, since I departed from your wicked ways.
Verse:
Heaven celebrated on that day, you should have heard how the angels sang, though daddy?s now gone, I heard him cheering me on, when I took back my family name.
My mama fail to her knees, the hallelujah?s rang, when I called and said it?s finally done, I?m out from under his spell, he?s going back to hell, she said I prayed for this day to come.
