Lyrics
ANGELS DONT FOLLOW (WHERE THE DEVIL STEERS) (c)P McNaught 2025
[Verse]
There's a bar down by the interstate, they say its troubles home,
Where the neon paints the faces of the lost souls all alone.
And Ive seen dreams get tangled there in smoke and bitter tears,
But angels dont follow where the devil steers.
[Verse 2]
The preachers daughter loved a man with whiskey on his breath,
She found out too late his promises were just a masquerade of death.
She prayed for wings to carry her beyond those shadows near,
But angels dont follow where the devil steers.
[Chorus]
Oh, take the higher road, no matter how it pulls,
The weight of sin will drag you down, those paths are dark and cruel.
Keep your heart away from the whisper that tempts your deepest fears,
Cause angels dont follow where the devil steers.
[Verse 3]
There's fields of gold out yonder where the sun dont hide its face,
But down here in temptations trap, it sure feels a lonely place.
Dont trade your light for darkness, dont let the shadows near,
'Cause angels dont follow where the devil steers.
[Bridge]
I hear the choir calling me from somewhere out of sight,
Singing hymns of grace and mercy, leading me toward the light.
That forked paths meant to shake you, but the straight ones crystal clear,
Angels dont follow where the devil steers.
[Chorus]
Oh, take the higher road, no matter how it pulls,
The weight of sin will drag you down, those paths are dark and cruel.
Keep your heart away from the whisper that tempts your deepest fears,
Cause angels dont follow where the devil steers.
