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
