Met The Devil In Oklahoma

(album: Oklahoma - 2020)

Met the devil in Oklahoma
He had eyes black as the night
He said he came from North Dakota
Wanna take me on a ride
I asked him why he came to visit me
He said that's just what he does
Met the devil in Oklahoma
And he knew who I was

I've been sitting on the riverbank
Praying in Jesus' name
To come and save my soul
I know time was never on my side
I've been waiting for forever now
Hoping that he comes around
Pulls me outta this hole
Cause I'm running out of places to hide

Met the devil in Oklahoma
He shied from the light
He said "I just wanna get to know ya"
Couldn't see through his disguise
Took a step in a wrong direction
He got his hold on me
Met the devil in Oklahoma and it's a tough time getting' free

I've been sitting on the riverbank
Praying in Jesus' name
To come and save my soul
I know time was never on my side
I've been waiting for forever now
Hoping that he comes around
Pulls me outta this hole
Cause I'm running out of places to hide

Will I make it out alive
Or have my feet done crossed the line?
Lord, won't you tell me
Will I make it out alive
Or have my feet done crossed the line?
Lord, won't you tell me

I've been sitting on the riverbank
Praying in Jesus' name
To come and save my soul
I know time was never on my side
I've been waiting for forever now
Hoping that he comes around
Pulls me outta this hole
Cause I'm running out of places to hide
