Devil’s in NOLA lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I first met the devil, she was dancing at a club in New Orleans
She was begging with her body for a dollar, half-collapsed to her knees
Her wicked eyes were hollow, her silver tongue glistened when she'd speak
Her words from a language that I'd heard in my anguishing dreams

[Chorus]
Now, Lord, can you save me from this place that I'm in?
For the floors, they're all painted an awful shade of sin
How I long for the hour that I get to see my lover's face again

[Verse 2]
Thе men with their money, thеy were finding it funny, I believe
They could see it in my eyes all I wanted on that night was to leave

[Chorus]
Now, Lord, can you save me from this place that I'm in?
For the floors, they're all painted an awful shade of sin
How I long for the hour that I get to see my lover's face again
I swear I'll raise her higher, hold her tighter than I ever once did
Now, Lord, can you save me from this place that I'm in?
For the floors, they're all painted an awful shade of sin
How I long for the hour that I get to see my lover's face again
I swear I'll raise her higher, hold her tighter than I ever once did
