   D
A little outside of Elizabethtown
There’s a little bar where I’d sit down
             G
And trade a couple country songs for Kentucky
 D
Bourbon
   D
A little ol’ gal in the middle of the night
Learning how to love and learning how to fight
     G                                D
And learning how to like my brand of hurting

 A
Hell there's hell everywhere I go
           G                          D
I’m just sticking with the devil I know

Chorus:
 G
Momma says get my ass to church
Daddy says get my ass to work
 D
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
 G
Everybody’s got something to say
About how I gotta change my ways
    Bm                  A        G
But I got something to say of my own
 G
Hell there's hell everywhere I go
                                     D
I’m just sticking with the devil I know

I love somebody everybody loves
And he's in love with my messed up
Most folks can't see my soul through the smoke
And we're suitcase marks on a hardwood floor
Flippin' the bird, slammin' the door
And peelin' out and turnin' 'round and comin' home

But hell, there's hell everywhere I go
So I'm stickin' with the devil I know

Chorus:
Mama says get my ass to church
Daddy says get my ass to work
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
Everybody's got somethin' to say
About how I gotta change my ways
But I got somethin' to say of my own
There's higher roads than I rode
And better choices than I chose
I'm just stickin' with the devil I know

         G
Hey-hey hey hey hey
     D
Hey heeey hey hey
     G
Woah oh oh oh oh

Chorus:
Mama says get my ass to church
Daddy says get my ass to work
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes
Everybody's got somethin' to say
About how I gotta change my ways
But I got somethin' to say of my own
Hell, there's hell everywhere I go
So I'm stickin' with the devil I know
