Tuesday I was through with hopin'
Wednesday my empty arms were open

Guess I won't be coming to church on Sunday
I'll be waiting for love
Waiting for love to come around"

"You think you're getting away
No escape from the deal you made
You walked right into his plan
Run as fast as you think you can
Back from wherever you came
Call the devil by any name
Oh no! Now, who you do blame?
Should have listened to what I'd said
What I'd said, what I'd said, yeah!
Let me tell you it's a hard road to hell without no soul"
