Hell Left the Light On - Country Trap 808

Intro

Verse 1 I walked out of heaven with the rain in my coat, a prayer in my pocket and a knife at my throat. The angels quit singing when I passed through the gate, but somewhere down lower, somebody stayed awake.

Pre-Chorus I saw that red glow At the end of the road Like a porch lamp burning For a lost man's soul

Chorus Hell left the light on, Like it knew I'd come home I been too far gone To keep walking alone Hell left the light on, Burning red through the rain Heaven shut the door on me, But hell still knew my name

Verse 2 Passed by a church house with the windows all black, heard my old life beggin' me to come on back. But the road kept movin' like a snake through the pines, and the dark kept dancin' to the beat of my crimes.

Bridge Don't call it evil If it kept me alive Some men need mercy Some need fire to survive Hell left the light on, Like it knew I'd come home I been too far gone To keep walking alone Hell left the light on, Burning red through the rain Heaven shut the door on me, But hell still knew my name

Outro I quit knocking on heaven's door. The other one was already open.
