From the recording The Devil's Promises
Old Timey Country, Heavy on the fiddle
Lyrics
The Devil makes you promises
From deep inside your dreams
A promise is an easy thing to make
Once you sign your soul away
I believe you’re gonna find
A promise is an easy thing to break
He’ll tell you anything you want to hear
He’ll pander to your hatred and you fear
But his agenda’s very, very clear
Better tell that cat to take a hike
Or you’re gonna find out what hell is like
The Devil makes you promises, promises, promises
But a promise is an easy thing to make
The Devil makes you promises, promises, promises
But a promise is an easy thing to break
Now, me I ain’t no angel
Me, I ain’t no saint
I don’t believe that’s open to debate
But I’ve heard the Devil’s pitch before
And I narrowly escaped
So I hope you heed me before it’s too damn late
He’ll tell you everything you need to hear
He’ll whisper demon secrets in your ear
He’ll spin a lie and make it sound sincere
Better learn your lesson fast and well
Or you’re gonna find your ass in Hell
The Devil makes you promises, promises, promises
But a promise is an easy thing to make
The Devil makes you promises, promises, promises
But a promise is an easy thing to break
