Lyrics The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie - Colter Wall

The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie

Well Reverend, Reverend, please come quick
'Cause I got something to admit
I met a man out in the sticks
Of Good Ole Miss
He drove a Series 10 Cadillac and wore a cigar on his lip
Don’t you know the devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down The 61 in early July
White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by
And he said «I know you, I know you young man
«I know you by the state of your hands
«You're a six-string picker, just as I am
«Let me learn you somethin': I know a few turns to make all the girls dance
Don’t you know the devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down The 61 in early July
White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by
Oh foolish, foolish was I
Damn my foolish eyes
'Cause that man’s lessons had a price, oh sweet price
My sweet soul everlasting, a very own eternal light
Don’t you know that the devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down The 61 in early July
White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by
Well, the devil wears a suit and tie
I saw him driving down The 61 in early July
White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by
