There was a time I tried to kill a man

Just for looking at me wrong

Anger so strong I couldn't stop myself

I was killing myself one shot at a time

Going insane from the pain

The women and the wine



But I finally hit bottom in an alley way

Hell wasn't but a breath away

So I hit my knee's in the street and begged god for mercy



Last night I told the devil where to go

You know heaven's got my soul

Ain't gonna listen to his lies no more

Last night I told the devil where to go



I could have saved myself a lot of hurting time

If I'd have just listened to my momma

Everytime she cried

Well I was way to lost in a sinner's haze

Burning up the days

Just another young man who had lost his way

Now it finally makes sense what the preacher said

When he said son you don't wanna wake up dead

And find yourself alone in the fires of hell



Yeah everybody 

Last night I told the devil where to go

You know heaven's got my soul

Ain't gonna listen to his lies no more

Last night I told the devil where to go



Now when you hear that demon knocking at your door

You just tell him you dont want his kind round here no more

Cause if you wanna love if you wanna live

If you wanna be free you can't forget and forgive

You gotta kick him in the teeth and do exactly

Do exactly what I did



Yeah last night I told the devil where to go 

You know heaven's got my soul

Ain't gonna listen to his lies no more

Last night I told the devil

Last night I told the devil

Last night I told the devil

Last night I told the devil

Last night I told the devil

I told the devil where to go
