- The Devil Keeps My Number (Alt 2)

Intro God's line's been busy since they put her in the ground. So I called the other fella.

Verse 1 Used to keep a Bible in the truck Now it's just a place I keep the buckshot tucked Prayed so hard my knees wore through Got a silence back — so I'm through talkin' to You Down here the deals are quicker, clean He don't promise heaven, don't pretend to mean He just asks me what I want and when And a widower's wants are a short list, friend

Chorus The devil keeps my number now On speed dial since they let him walk I stopped callin' God, He hung up somehow And the devil, well — the devil talks

Verse 2 Don't get me wrong, I ain't gone proud I'd trade every dark deal for one hour, out loud One kitchen mornin', one more her But heaven don't refund, and hell don't defer So if the good Lord won't collect the debt There's an old friend downstairs who ain't done yet He knows the name, he knows the road He's just waitin' on me to shoulder the load

Chorus The devil keeps my number now On speed dial since they let him walk I stopped callin' God, He hung up somehow And the devil, well — the devil talks

Outro He always answers. That's the whole problem.
