Lyrics

A Deacon Stone Christian Blues Song

(Verse 1)
Woke up this mornin’ with a weight on my chest,
Been runnin’ with trouble, got no time for rest.
Sin’s been livin’ in my house too long,
Took my peace, took my joy, ‘til my soul was gone.

(Verse 2)

Woke up this mornin’, cold sweat on my skin,
Felt that ol’ dark wind try to creep back in.
I been runnin’ too long, playin’ fool to the game,
Chasin’ down pleasure, drownin’ in shame.

(Chorus 1)
Ohhh, the devil don’t pay no rent,
He’ll move right in, leave your soul hell-bent.
Sittin’ at your table, drinkin’ your wine,
Laughin’ while he shitting robs you blind!

(Verse 3)
Said he’d bring me gold, said he’d make me shine,
But all he left was empty mind.
I was blind , thought I had control,
‘Til I looked in the mirror couldn’t see my soul.

(Chorus 2)
Oh, the devil don’t pay no rent,
He’ll move right in, leave you broke and spent.
Stealin’ your soul with a sly little grin,
Oh Lord, don’t let that fool in again!

(Verse 4)
Well I hit my knees, Lord, I called Your name,
I was done playin’ the devil’s game.
You broke my chains, threw them to the floor
Told me that liar ain’t welcome no more!

(Chorus 3)
Oh, the devil don’t pay no rent,
He’ll take all you got ‘til there’s nothin’ left.
But my house belongs to the Lord above,
Paid in full by His mercy and love!
