When the Devil Rides

throw it on the floor
no good for
anything at all
ride this squall
turn the tv on
till you’re gone
weather woman say lock your door today

doesn’t mean much
when the atmosphere is touch and go

when the devil rides
i want you by my side
the whisky spilt today
the storm washed away
nothing felt right
i hold you tight
we’ll squeeze the battle away
fight another

risk it on the red
lose your head
blame it on the black
slinking back
right another wrong
write a love song
dedicated to anyone but you

sing it in the street
play the chords super sweet
because

when the devil rides
i want you by my side
the whisky spilt today
the storm washed away
nothing felt right
i hold you tight
we’ll squeeze the battle away
fight another

play it on the porch with a cheap torch
sing it in the rain near the blocked drain
sing it like before
harmonize or
sing it out of key
sing it strong just sing with me

when the devil rides
i want you by my side
the whisky spilt today
the storm washed away
nothing felt right
i hold you tight
we’ll squeeze the battle away
fight another
