Broken Bones

The Devil's gonna make me a free man,
The Devil's gonna set me free.
The Devil's gonna make me a free man,
The Devil's gonna set me free.
I went down deep Texas, Mississippi state,
Hoping things might go my way,
For every hard earned dollar I make
There stands a white man just to take it away
Some might say I talk loud, see if I care
Unlike them, don't walk away from my fear
I've busted bones, broken stones,
Looked the Devil in the eye,
I hope he's gonna break these chains
Oh yeah
The Devil's gonna make me a free man,
The Devil's gonna set me free.
The Devil's gonna make me a free man,
The Devil's gonna set me free.
Another hard day, no water, no rest
I saw my chance, oh I got him at last
I took his six-shooter, put two in his chest
He'll never say a word no more,
Oh, he'll never say a word no more,
The Devil got him good for sure
Ain't got no place to call a home
Only chains and broken bones
Ain't got no place to call a home
So come on lord, won't you take me now?
Ain't got no place to call a home
Only chains and broken bones
Ain't got no place to call a home
So come on lord, what you waiting for?
The Devil's gonna make me a free man,
The Devil's gonna set me free.
The Devil's gonna make me a free man,
The Devil's gonna set me free.
