Understate and over country, the interstate’s got all my money
But my conscience is grinding away, and the time has come my friends.
Cause the Devil don’t rest his head when I do
And I know he don’t tap his feet to the same things I tap my feet to.
The Devil don’t rest his head I should know
Cause my Mama’s on her knees every night eternally toe to toe.
Brother not who’s not my brother, one has over taken the other
But forgive those who claim the grove, or have not met their fathers.
Cause the Devil don’t rest his head when I do
And I know he don’t tap his feet to the same things I tap my feet to.
The Devil don’t rest his head I should know
Cause my Mama’s on her knees every night eternally toe to toe.
Signed my soul and payed my brother, kissed my Mom and left my lover
My pack feels lighter as it’s slung over, I’m off to meet my Father.
Cause the Devil don’t rest his head when I do
And I know he don’t tap his feet to the same things I tap my feet to.
The Devil don’t rest his head I should know
Cause my Mama’s on her knees every night eternally toe to toe.
