The Chains Around Me

Verse 1

I'm at the end of the road, I got nowhere to go

A loaded gun to my head, so tell me who am I to blame?

I got the devil at my shoulder, he's getting older, and he's cold

He said, "boy, you're mine"

Ain't no use in trying

Chorus

I was running from the devil

Running from the devil

I was running

I was running

I was running from the devil

Running from the devil

I was running

Verse 2

There's no time to negotiate, I'm just trying to escape

He said, "there's no use in hiding when I can see through your lies"

As the fire burns around me, I can hear him calling out my name

He said, "boy, you're mine"

Ain't no use in trying

Chorus

I was running from the devil

Running from the devil

I was running

I was running

I was running from the devil

Running from the devil

I was running

Bridge

And the chains are all around me

And the flames are all around me

And the chains are all around me

And the flames are all around me

Chorus

I was running from the devil

Running from the devil

I was running

Running

I was running from the devil

Running from the devil

I was running

Outro

I'm running from the devil

I'm running from the devil

I'm running

I'm running

I'm running from the devil

Running from the devil

I'm running
