Hell Don’t Scare Me

I’ve walked through fire that begged me back, Held the devil’s coat and laughed at lack I ain’t proud, but I ain’t blind — I’m just what mercy left behind

Hell don’t scare me like her eyes, When I rode out and heard no cries She didn’t scream, didn’t curse my name — Just stood there still, like I died in shame So let the flames rise wild and free — Hell don’t scare me

I’ve seen good men fade to dust, And worse men rise on lies and rust But nothing cuts like what I chose — To leave her cold with all she knows

Hell don’t scare me like that look, When she let go and I never shook She gave me outlaws, gave me grace — I gave her back an empty place So let the devil ride with me — Hell don’t scare me

I’ve outrun law, I’ve outrun fate, But her silence waits at every gate

Hell don’t scare me — fire’s too kind Compared to leavin’ love behind No chain, no pit, no brimstone sea — Hell don’t scare me… She does
