about

If you're into alt country and americana, this one's for you.

Co written with Rae Billing.

lyrics

He said he was a libertarian.
I asked how he was gonna vote.
I didn't like his answer
and I tried to persuade him.
he said I choose the devil he knows

I hear he's headed back to Bastrop
That's all he's ever really known
Take I-Ten back from Houston
Maybe he can get his job back
I guess he chose the devil he knew

Chorus:
the devil I know . the devil I know
the devil I know . the devil I know

bridge:
snow cone angel with a devil may care attitude
she tries to scrape the gum off
her Woolworth's bought high heel shoes
toll roads and mini marts
strip malls on the way back home
make out time in a four wheeled drive
the devil's music
rock n' roll

Me, I've got people in Sharpstown
Him and me, we saw it different ways
It's not really all I wanted
but I know my way around
I guess I choose the devil I know.
