lyrics

When you go walking outside of your door
The people, they're bound to moan
They'll get to talking, but idle hands
Aren't staying inside their own

When the devil he comes
To split their tongues
Won't you keep him outside your door
Touch. Breathe.
Just keep him outside your door

I'll tell you Addie one thing I've learned
From living a life alone
Is when the neighbors, they question
Your true intentions it's best just to stay at home

When the devil he comes
With his iron lungs
Won't you keep him outside your door
Touch. Breathe.
Just keep him outside your door

Now when I lost my son in that midnight fire
His life should have been my own
Because a grown man is still a father's pride
When his wife's already gone

When the devil he comes
To steal your sons
Won't you keep him outside your door
Touch. Breathe.
Just keep him outside your door

The preacher has come, the preacher has gone
He talked about my soul
The words were all there until I shared
I had no money for his bowl

When the devil he comes
With his Bible to thump
Won't you keep him outside your door
Touch. Breathe.
Just keep him outside your door

Give my best to that sweet mother of yours
Tell her I kept the devil outside my door
But if he ever tries to knock it down
He'll get a taste of my .44

When the devil he comes
With his hired guns
Won't you keep him outside your door
Touch. Breathe.
Just keep him outside your door
