Got a dry-mouth prayer I can’t make myself say. Heard hell call my name, but I walked past the gate. [Pre-Chorus] Let it come, let it crawl, let it lean on my chest. I’ve been close to gone, but I ain’t gone yet. [Chorus] The devil can wait, I ain’t finished yet. There’s blood in my mouth, but there’s breath in my chest. Let the grave bell ring, let it drag my name. Death had my name in its mouth, but it choked on the sound. The devil can wait. The devil can wait. I ain’t ready for the ground, the devil can wait. [Verse 2] I don’t want mercy if it comes with a chain. I don’t want silence if it sounds like shame. Got a nail in my will that the dark can’t bend. Got a worn-down heart still kicking again. [Pre-Chorus] Let it come, let it crawl, let it lean on my chest. I’ve been close to gone, but I ain’t gone yet. [Chorus] The devil can wait, I ain’t finished yet. There’s blood in my mouth, but there’s breath in my chest. Let the grave bell ring, let it drag my name. Death had my name in its mouth, but it choked on the sound. The devil can wait. The devil can wait. I ain’t ready for the ground, the devil can wait. [Bridge] I’m not holy. I’m not healed. I still carry what the years won’t steal. I’m not clean. I’m not safe. But I still got a spark with a sinner’s name. Let it call. Let it claw. Let it write my name where the dead men are. I’ve been close. I’ve been late. But not tonight, the devil can wait. [Final Chorus] The devil can wait, I ain’t finished yet. There’s blood in my mouth, but there’s breath in my chest. Let the grave bell ring, let it drag my name. Death had my name in its mouth, but it choked on the sound. The devil can wait, I still feel the ache. If my heart still hurts, then it still won’t break. Let the long road burn, let it drag my name. I ain’t done with this life, the devil can wait. [Outro] The devil can wait. The devil can wait. Not tonight, the devil can wait. #darkcountry #outlawcountry #westernrock #cinematicmusic #southerngothic #darkwestern #countryrock #americana
