Day Before Temptation

(альбом: The Muscle Shoals Recordings - 2015)

I know playing with fire will get you burned
You'd think that'd be a lesson that I've learned
It goes back to the start of God's creation
That old whisper has a name, it's called temptation

It's down a dead end road, straight to nowhere's where it goes
When the high is gone, you'll be left out in the rain
Soaking wet with sin, on your knees and you'll begin praying for a way
To go back to the day before temptation

It'll dress you up in 100 dollar bills
It'll make you smell like whiskey and cheap thrills
Keep one hand on the wheel or you'll be taken
On a shotgun ride with a driver called temptation

It's down a dead end road, straight to nowhere's where it goes
When the gas is gone, you'll be left out in the rain
Soaking wet with sin, on your knees and you'll begin praying for a way
To go back to the day before temptation

Oh don't you let it catch you by surprise
It'll stab you in the back just like a knife
It'll take your house, your kids and your wife
Brother if you let him, he'll damn sure take your life

It's down a dead end road, straight to nowhere's where it goes
When the deal is gone, you'll be left out in the rain
Soaking wet with sin, on your knees and you'll begin praying for a way
To go back to the day before temptation

'Cause there ain't no way to go back to the day before temptation
