Sometimes they're in a bottle Sometimes a pair of high-heeled shoes Some come rolled in paper Some have six strings And only play the blues Once you've met the devil There ain't no way he'll let you be When I'm not chasing demons There's demons chasing me Skeletons in closets Ghosts underneath the bed They hide out in pictures And in words that are left unsaid They hang around like perfume And haunt me like an ancient melody When I'm not chasing demons There's demons chasing me There's things that I can't leave alone Cause they won't leave me alone Cause what I want ain't what I need Still I reach for the things I crave Better try to run away Maybe I'm afraid of being free Cause when I'm not chasing demons There's demons chasing me Sorrow worn up and lighted Pick up my old guitar I'm playing crossroads Drinking whiskey from a mason jar There's a heartache at my front door Says she needs my company When I'm not chasing demons There's demons chasing me There's things that I can't leave alone Cause they won't leave me alone Cause what I want ain't what I need Still I reach for the things I crave Better try to run away Am I afraid of being free You tell me Cause when I'm not chasing demons There's demons chasing me When I'm not chasing demons There's demons chasing me There's demons chasing me There's demons chasing me When I'm not chasing demons There's demons chasing me There's demons chasing me Demons chasing me There's demons chasing me When I'm not chasing demons There's demons chasing me There's demons chasing me
