[Intro]

Cast me down where the Devil don't go

Devil don't go where I'll make my home

Cast me down where the Devil don't go

Devil don't go where I'll make my home

[Verse 1]

Drown my woes in a lake of fire

Sinner's song gonna take me higher

Drown my woes in a lake of fire

Sinner's song gonna take me higher

Good Lord turned his back on me

Lucifer gonna set me free

Good Lord turned his back on me

Lucifer gonna set me free

[Chorus]

It's a mean world that I've known

Never got no good doing what I'm told

It's a mean world that I've known

Now you'll find me where the Devil don't go

Where the Devil don't go

[Verse 2]

Preacher man won't cut no slack

Caught my demons but gave them back

Preacher man won't cut no slack

Caught my demons but gave them back

Won't bruise my knees getting down to pray

Won't repent until my Judgment Day

Bruise my knees getting down to pray

Won't repent 'til my Judgment Day

[Chorus]

It's a mean world that I've known

Never got no good doing what I'm told

It's a mean world that I've known

Now you'll find me where the Devil don't go

Where the Devil don't go

[Bridge]

Cast me down where the Devil don't go

Devil don't go where I'll make my home

Cast me down where the Devil don't go

Devil don't go where I'll make my home

[Chorus]

It's a mean world that I've known

Never got no good doing what I'm told

It's a mean world that I've known

Now you'll find me where the Devil don't go

It's a mean world that I've known

Never got no good doing what I'm told

It's a mean world that I've known

Now you'll find me where the Devil don't go

Where the Devil don't go

[Outro]

Cast me down where the Devil don't go

Devil don't go where I'll make my home

Cast me down where the Devil don't go

Devil don't go where I'll make my home
