Devils Blood by India Ramey Lyrics

I was born to a good-hearted woman
Who loved a bad man
She said a prayer for me every night
So I wouldn't be like him
All my life I've walked the line
Knowing all the time
I'll never live that evil down
No matter how hard I try

I've been running all of my life
I've been running all of my days
I could run until the end of time
But I'll never get away
Cause the devil's blood’s running in my veins

I went to the preacher man
Said, “would you help me if you could
Cause I don't want to be like him
And I swear I never would”
He said, “Have mercy on you, child
There's nothing I can do
Cause all the sins you're running from
Came way before you”
I've been running all of my life
I've been running all of my days
I could run until the end of time
But I'll never get away
Cause the devil's blood’s running in my veins

I try so hard, oh not to go astray
But sometimes, sometimes I just got to misbehave
Cause the devil's blood's running in my veins

I've been running all of my life
I've been running all of my days
I could run until the end of time
But I'll never get away
Cause the devil's blood’s running in my veins
