Met The Devil In Oklahoma

Met the devil in Oklahoma
He had eyes black as the night
He said he came from North Dakota
Wanna take me on a ride
I asked him why he came to visit me
He said that’s just what he does
Met the devil in Oklahoma
And he knew who I was

I’ve been sittin’ on the riverbank
Prayin’ in Jesus’ name
To come and save my soul
I know time was never on my side
I’ve been waitin’ for forever now
Hopin’ that he comes around
Pulls me outta this holе
'Cause I'm runnin’ out of places to hide

Mеt the devil in Oklahoma
He shied from the light
He said: I just wanna get to know ya
Couldn’t see through his disguise
Took a step in a wrong direction
He got his hold on me
Met the devil in Oklahoma and it’s a tough time getting’ free

I’ve been sittin’ on the riverbank
Prayin’ in Jesus’ name
To come and save my soul
I know time was never on my side
I’ve been waitin’ for forever now
Hopin’ that he comes around
Pulls me outta this hole
'Cause I'm runnin’ out of places to hide

Will I make it out alive
Or have my feet done crossed the line?
Lord, won’t you tell me
Will I make it out alive
Or have my feet done crossed the line?
Lord, won’t you tell me

I’ve been sittin’ on the riverbank
Prayin’ in Jesus’ name
To come and save my soul
I know time was never on my side
I’ve been waitin’ for forever now
Hopin’ that he comes around
Pulls me outta this hole
'Cause I'm runnin’ out of places to hide
