Sometimes they're in a bottle, Sometimes a pair of high-heel shoes, Some come rolled in paper Some have six strings and only play the blues Once you've met the devil There ain't no way he'll let you be When I'm not chasing demons, There's demons chasing me
Skeletons in closets Ghosts underneath the bed They hide out in pictures And words better left unsaid They hang around like perfume And haunt me like an ancient melody When I'm not chasing demons, There's demons chasing me
There's things that I can't leave alone 'Cause they won't leave me alone What I want ain't what I need Still I reach for the things I crave Then try to run away Am I afraid of being free
'Cause when I'm not chasing demons There's demons chasing me
So roll one up and light it Pick up my old guitar I'm playing crossroads Drinking whiskey from a mason jar Heartache at my front door Says she needs my company When I'm not chasing demons There's demons chasing me
There's things that I can't leave alone 'Cause they won't leave me alone What I want ain't what I need Still I reach for the things I crave Then try to run away Am I afraid of being free 'Cause when I'm not chasing demons There's demons chasing me
When I'm not chasing demons There's demons chasing me
