00:00The
00:01And
00:23Late
00:23By the
00:24River
00:24Road
00:25Dust
00:25Still
00:26Hanging
00:26Off
00:26That
00:26Old
00:27Tulane
00:28Neon flickered in the bait shop window
00:31Buzzing louder than my brain
00:33Saw your number in the phone, I swore
00:36I wasn't gonna pick up again
00:38But there I sat, thumb on the screen
00:41Counting to ten, ten again
00:44And the night got quieter
00:46The crickets slowed down
00:49That little green light still burning now
00:55The devil never had a chance
00:57No, the devil never had a chance
01:00He couldn't dream up what you did
01:03Couldn't draw that line in the sand
01:06He knows fire, he knows smoke
01:08Knows every lost soul, head it broke
01:11But the devil never had a chance
01:15No, the devil never had a chance
01:27Your porch swing still leaning sideways
01:30Paint peeling off the frame
01:32The mailbox out by the gravel
01:35Still wearing your last name
01:38Folks in town quit asking
01:41They got tired of hearing lies
01:43But every Friday after sundown
01:46I still take that same drive
01:49And the courthouse clock hits half past nine
01:53Like it always does right on time
01:55The devil never had a chance
01:57No, the devil never had a chance
02:00He couldn't dream up what you did
02:03Couldn't draw that line in the sand
02:06He knows fire, he knows smoke
02:08Knows every lost soul, head it broke
02:11But the devil never had a chance
02:14Nah, the devil never had a chance
02:18I used to think the worst things lived in shadows
02:37Nobody could see
02:38Then your taillights faded round that curve
02:43Left all this with me
02:45Left all this with me
02:49Just red dots
02:52Gone
02:55Gone
02:56Gone
02:57The devil never had a chance
03:00No, the devil never had a chance
03:03He can shake the earth, bring the thunder down
03:06Turn a good man's world around
03:08But he never learned what I learned then
03:11Watching you disappear again
03:16The devil never had a chance
03:19No, the devil never had a chance
03:22And if he's out there keeping score
03:24He's probably wondering what happened for sure
03:27Cause the devil never had a chance
03:32The devil never had a chance
03:56Somehow, the devil never had a chance
03:56In this fight
