lyrics
devil in my doorway trying to drag my soul away
I told him take this old guitar
cause I’ll be singing silent
before I let him dig my grave
the road is wild lover but the city is my spine
they tried to weigh me down in nashville
but I returned to memphis
so I could finally do it right
victory in jesus said the whisper I forgot
I’m gonna make that whisper louder
when I arrest the thief who’s
been stealing all my thoughts
devil took my money but I still got both my arms
I’m gonna lift your weary head
and dig up all the coins
you used to bury in the yard
trunk full of all our failures
we're gonna drive over their intent
the moment you think it's too late
couldn't ever be a better moment to repent
I told him take this old guitar
cause I’ll be singing silent
before I let him dig my grave
the road is wild lover but the city is my spine
they tried to weigh me down in nashville
but I returned to memphis
so I could finally do it right
victory in jesus said the whisper I forgot
I’m gonna make that whisper louder
when I arrest the thief who’s
been stealing all my thoughts
devil took my money but I still got both my arms
I’m gonna lift your weary head
and dig up all the coins
you used to bury in the yard
trunk full of all our failures
we're gonna drive over their intent
the moment you think it's too late
couldn't ever be a better moment to repent
