Shake The Devil Lyrics - Joan Osborne

I guess I had to find out the hard way 

The things that I have come here to learn 

Fire of this pleasure it can warm me 

But in the end it only burns 

He could put me high on a [Incomprehensible] 

He could rob me of my shame 

He could hold me down under water 

Till I could not remember my own name 

In my mind I see the house I'm building 

In my hands the hammer and the nail 

Gonna send my wishes up to glory 

Gonna shake that devil off my trail 

In my time I've done some meanness 

Brought the ones I love so much pain 

Pride it was eatin' on my hard way 

My soul it was rustin' in the rain

And all these sins I am confessing 

They still come knocking on my door 

But I know better than to answer 

I tell them that girl don't live here anymore 

In my mind I see the house I'm building 

In my hands the hammer and the nail 

Gonna send my wishes up to glory 

Gonna shake that devil off my trail 

Every livin' thing is calling out to me 

The leaves on the trees wave me on 

Got a wind to lift me when I'm fallin' 

Got a road to put my feet upon 

In my mind I see the house I'm building 

In my hands the hammer and the nail 

Gonna send my wishes up to glory 

Gonna shake that devil off my trail
