Honky Tonk Devil

I hate the honky tonk devil It might be best if I got some rest I could sure use a night here at home What good would it do to stay out 'til 2? My wild oats are already sewn The life I've been living is shameful I should listen to my better angels But I hear a honky tonk devil Whispering in my left ear He tells me to save all my quarters And buy the whole bar out of beer When I hear his voice, it's always my choice But I dive right down to his level I hate the honky tonk devil I should call up that girl Who gave me her world Then cried as I burned it all down Lie after lie, and weak alibis I left her no easy way out I should've listened To the words that she said All I could hear was a voice in my head I hear a honky tonk devil Whispering in my left ear He tells me to save all my quarters And buy the whole bar out of beer When I hear his voice, it's always my choice But I dive right down to his level I hate the honky tonk devil Lord knows I've put up a good fight I could be strong but this ain't the night I hear a honky tonk devil Whispering in my left ear He tells me to save all my quarters And buy the whole bar out of beer When I hear that voice, it's always my choice But I dive right down to his level I hate the honky tonk devil I hate the honky tonk devil
