Lyrics [Verse] I've been holding on to somethin' so heavy I know one day it's gonna break me Bendin' under the weight of the lies I carry And that day might be today [Prechorus] But it's the only thing that lets me sleep So I'm hopin' it won't be cheap [Chorus] Because I sold my soul for a record deal And I thought it would be a steal But the devil kept the receipt The devil kept the receipt Because I traded in all my joy for gold But I should've known the stories were all true Because the devil kept the receipt The devil kept the receipt [Verse 2] I've been goin' down the road to riches and fame And it leads to a fiery place Feelin' good and soundin' good The fortune's the same And it's all gonna go up in flames [Prechorus] It's a simple fact we gotta face That we all gonna have to pay [Chorus] Because I sold my soul for a record deal And I thought it would be a steal But the devil kept the receipt The devil kept the receipt Because I traded in all my joy for gold But I should've known the stories were all true Because the devil kept the receipt The devil kept the receipt Genre: dark country • swamp rock • southern gothic • outlaw country • gothic americana Contact & licensing: 5090@gmail.com #darkcountry #southerngothic #swampcountry
