Beat The Devil Out Of It

​

I always listened to my daddy

I heard my momma's voice

Whenever I had a problem

I had to make a choice

​

Is it a good book or a bad book

To use my head or heart

These words they always spoke to me

It's where I always start

​

Beat the devil out of it

Beat the devil out of it

These words they always spoke to me

It's where I always start

​

I've traveled this great country

Highways and low ways too

Found love as much as I lost it

Sad but it's true

​

There's good folks around every turn

To always lend a hand

Pick me up when I am down

You'd be so proud of this man

​

Beat the devil out of it

Beat the devil out of it

Pick me up when I was down

You'd be so proud of this man

​

Hup 2, 3, 4

​

Beat the devil out of it

Beat the devil out of it

When Uncle Sam says go to Alaska

You better go

​

Landscapes they might change

But my palette stays the same

Smile in the sunshine

Or in the rain

​

I'm done with giving orders

Except these words that I live by

Spoken by my parents

God I always try

​

To beat the devil out of it

Beat the devil out of it

Spoken by my parents

You've got to always try

​

We love Bob Ross for reasons too great to list here, but one for sure has to be...'wash the four inch brush in odourless paint thinner, shake 'em off and...'
