lyrics

Sorry Babe I can't take you home
This is the longest night I've known
It's two fifteen and the radio
Plays a sad song

Blood is warm and the road is cold
Jesus Christ can save your soul
If you're good enough
To make it to heaven

But I'm not good enough you see
Cause the devil he came to me
Saying man you're gonna have to die
unless you give me your sweet baby's life

Then I remembered us as seventeen
Records spinning on a record machine
And I remembered us the year before
Trading kisses on your daddy's floor

I'm sorry darling but you should understand
That I was born a selfish man
And the road sings sweeter than
Any kiss you gave me

So I told that devil I would take his deal
Away my soul that devil'd steal
I'd lose your touch
But I'd keep rambling on and playing

Then it felt like I lost control
And the car drifted off the road
The smile passed from your lips
I never thought it'd end like this

Do you remember what I said last night
When I asked you and you said alright
Well I guess you'll never be my bride
Cause I'm sleeping with the devil tonight.

about

Jeremy Joyce New Orleans, Louisiana

New Orleans couldn’t offer a more appropriate musical backdrop for Jeremy Joyce, whose genre-defying songs are born out of Jeremy’s macro-level interest in music history and his micro-level interest in what makes songs tick.
