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...'
