Woke up this mornin', feelin' low and blue
Got a devil on my shoulder, tellin' me what to do
I grabbed my old guitar, strummin' out a tune
With a devil's haircut, I'm singin' to the Moon
Oh, devil, devil, won't you set me free?
These blues are weighin' heavy, they won't let me be
With my heart in the music, and my soul in the fight
I'm playin' these devil's haircut blues tonight
Streets are cold and lonely, shadows start to creep
The sound of my guitar is the only thing I keep
Whispers of the night, callin' out my name
Dancin' with the devil, but I ain't playin' games
So I’ll strum that old six-string, let my troubles fade away
With every note I'm playin', I’ll keep the fear at bay
The devil may be laughin', but I’ll sing my truth so loud
In the heart of the blues, I’ll make my mama proud
