Shake Off The Demon
by Clint Black
Shake off the demon
See how the angel run
Pull out the powder
Shoot with the empty gun
You know you burn down the highway
And leave me no place to run, to run
So many visions to psychoanalyze
The politician screaming the bleedin’ lies
And all the natural children riot for the compromise
Oh babe, open your window, and let that fresh air blow
Hey shake babe, shake off your demon
And watch that angel go
Oh no
The priest and preacher talkin’ up the holy will
Singin’ the glory ‘bout how love fulfills
And here’s a man from the uniform
Sayin’ he wants to teach you to kill
To kill
Ah shake off the demon
See how the angel run
Pull out the powder
Shoot with an empty gun
You know you burn down the highway
And leave me no place to run
Oh babe, open your window, and let that fresh air blow
Hey shake babe, shake off your demon
And watch that angel go
