Broken Bones

The devil's going to make me a free man

The devil's going to set me free

Oh, the devil's going to make me a free man

The devil's going to set me free

I've been down, deep Texas; Mississippi state

Hoping things might go my way

For every hard earned dollar I make

There stands a white man just to take it away

Some might say I talk loud, see if I care

Unlike them, don't walk away from my fear

I've busted bones, broken stones, looked the devil in the eye

I hope he's going to break these chains, oh yeah

The devil's going to make me a free man

The devil's going to set me free

The devil's going to make me a free man

The devil's going to set me free

(Yeah, set me free)

Another hard day, no water, no rest

I saw my chance, so I got him at last

I took his six shooter, put two in his chest

He'll never say a word no more

Oh, he'll never say a word no more

The devil got him good for sure

Ain't got no place to call a home

Only chains and broken bones

Ain't got no place to call a home

So come on Lord, won't you take me now?

Ain't got no place to call a home

Only chains and broken bones

Ain't got no place to call a home

So come on Lord, what you waiting for?

Oh, the devil's going to make me a free man

The devil's going to set me free

The devil's going to make me a free man

The devil's going to set me free

Ain't got no place to call a home

(The devil's going to make me a free man)

Only chains and broken bones

(The devil's going to set me free)

Ain't got no place to call a home

(The devil's going to make me a free man)

So come on Lord, won't you take me now?

(The devil's going to set me free)

Ain't got no place to call a home

(The devil's going to make me a free man)

Only chains and broken bones

(The devil's going to set me free)

Ain't got no place to call a home

(The devil's going to make me a free man)

So come on Lord, what you waiting for?

(The devil's going to set me free)
