He begs to be free the devil inside, but don't you let him go
He longs to be your master and whispers his lies
And sometimes they sound so sweet
I can here him creepin
And my will is getting weak
Oh no keep away
Oh no keep away
I came home high, the folks and I, got in a fight
And I ran away from there, at just 16 years old
I was far away in another state when I got the news that momma died
I couldn't even cry
She tried so hard
And I never apologized
Oh no keep away
Oh no keep away
I was drivin late on the interstate, couldn't stay awake
And killed two girls, just walkin home from church
The police arrived, I tried to lie, they breathalyzed
Not fallin for my tricks
I blew a .16
Oh no keep away
Oh no keep away
He begs to be free the devil inside, but don't you let him go
