Sometimes they're in a bottle

Sometimes a pair of high-heel shoes

Some come rolled in paper

Some have six strings and only play the blues Once you've met the Devil

There ain't no way he'll let you be

When I'm not chasing demons

There's demons chasing me The skeletons in closets

Ghosts underneath the bed

They hide out in pictures

And words better left unsaid They hang around like perfume

And haunt me like an ancient melody

When I'm not chasing demons

There's demons chasing me There's things that I can't leave alone

'Cause they won't leave me alone

'Cause what I want ain't what I need Still I reach for the things I crave

And better try to run away

Maybe I'm afraid of being free

'Cause when I'm not chasing demons

There's demons chasing me So roll one up and light it

Pick up my old guitar

I'm playing 'Crossroads'

Drinking whiskey from a mason jar There's heartache at my front door

Says she needs my company

When I'm not chasing demons

There's demons chasing me There's things that I can't leave alone

'Cause they won't leave me alone

What I want ain't what I need Still I reach for the things I crave

Better try to run away

Am I afraid of being free? You tell me 'Cause when I'm not chasing demons

There's demons chasing me

When I'm not chasing demons

There's demons chasing me There's demons chasing me

There's demons chasing me

When I'm not chasing demons

There's demons chasing me There's demons chasing me

Demons chasing me

There's demons chasing me

When I'm not chasing demons

There's demons chasing me
