Sometimes they're in a bottle
Sometimes a pair of high-heel shoes
Some come rolled in paper
Some have six strings and only play the bluesOnce 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 meThe skeletons in closets
Ghosts underneath the bed
They hide out in pictures
And words better left unsaidThey hang around like perfume
And haunt me like an ancient melody
When I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing meThere's things that I can't leave alone
'Cause they won't leave me alone
'Cause what I want ain't what I needStill I reach for the things I crave
And better try to run away
Maybe I'm afraid of being free
'Cause when I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing meSo roll one up and light it
Pick up my old guitar
I'm playing 'Crossroads'
Drinking whiskey from a mason jarThere's heartache at my front door
Says she needs my company
When I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing meThere's things that I can't leave alone
'Cause they won't leave me alone
What I want ain't what I needStill 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 meThere's demons chasing me
There's demons chasing me
When I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing meThere's demons chasing me
Demons chasing me
There's demons chasing me
When I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
