Dealin' With the Devil (original) - Jennifer Castille

Super rough still, literally JUST wrote it, took like 20 minutes. Just one of those songs that kinda writes itself. I'll probably end up posting a better, cleaner version up, but I just wanted to share this with y'all. Also, follow me on twitter at @jenncastille

Dealin' With the Devil (capo 1)


It's a problem, I've been workin' here at the bottom
But you take it and there ain't no mistakin'
The dust on my halo's getting a little old
Don't you try to mess with my heart, you're gonna catch a cold
I traded my soul for gettin' ahead
I've been dealin' with the devil, all I see is red

Here's to the liars, and the believers that walk on wires
Ain't it funny how, you still ain't wanting out
So I've warned you a thousand times, I know that you've heard me
I'll only bend you till you break, beggin me for mercy
I traded my heart for a gypsy name
I've been dealin' with the devil, honey, you just lost the game

You can't save me, but you keep walkin through my door
Can't get up off your knees, can't even get up off the floor

You know you've been feedin' my sick, sick need for leavin'
But you can't get it, can't you see this ain't no heaven
I'll kill your pride and wreck your mind, but my conscience will stay clear
Cause I've been nothing but perfectly sincere
I traded blue skies for rainy days
I've been dealin' with the devil with a smile on my face

You're in purgatory and you ain't just passing through
Kept on falling for me, I guess the devil got you too

Yeah, it's a problem, been living here at the bottom
You can't take it, even though your heart's breakin'
There's dust on my halo, but it's all just there for show
I told you not to mess with my heart, but damn you're pretty bold
I traded my soul for gettin' ahead
I've been dealin' with the devil and all I see is red
I made a deal with the devil, been sleeping in his bed

Great song. You have tremendous songwriting skills. I have a vid on my profile. It's just guitar but I'm trying to get some more vids unloaded. Check them out when you get time.
