Ain't got no place to call a home The devil's going to set me free The devil's going to make me a free man Only chains and broken bones (The devil's going to make me a free man) (The devil's going to set me free) Oh, the devil's going to make me a free

Don't descend Alright now He's just a loner He never says hello A friend to no one He's got no place to go He don't look happy He look through furtive eyes He ain't got nothing

Think I'm from space I found the earth Not leaving now I know your face Think you fell too Space soul fell down And ain't no place now, if I got you

But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted Baby you're no good To say that we're in love is dangerous I know I'd rather be complacent I got you touchin' on your body You got me puttin' time in, time in Nobody got me feeling this way You probably think I'm

Well, then a 'nuff gettoh youths no have no place to go Live night and day roaming in the gettoh Nuff gettoh youths ain't got no place of their own Give them some place that they can call their home Well, then a 'nuff politions telling poor people lies

You've pushed me one too many times It's not that complicated and you ain't gotta believe They'll put me down in a hole before I let you succeed I've never been complacent, I can't afford to be I know you think you're special but you ain't nothin' I'm

Wish I could find forgiveness It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew The peace I need so desperately Is buried in the one place I can't get to Girl, it's gotta come from you Or lying in the bed of someone else

Nothin' but blue skies, Hangin' over you and I. Listen to the Goodyear's roll Hummin' through the radio Let it lighten up your load Ain't got no place to go. Watching those fence poles fly, As the miles roll by, Embers in the ashtray,
