  • Sometimes they're in a bottle
    Sometimes a pair of high heal shoes
    Some come rolled in paper
    Some have six strings and only play the blues
    Once you meet the devil
    There's no way he'll let you be
    When I'm not chasing demons
    There's demons chasing me

    Skeletons in closets
    Ghost underneath the bed
    They hide out in pictures
    And in 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

    [Chorus:]
    There's things 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 runaway
    Maybe I'm afraid of being free
    When I'm not chasing demons
    There's demons chasing me

    So roll one up and light it
    Pickup my old guitar
    I'm playing crossroads
    Drinkin' whiskey from the 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

    [Chorus]

    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
    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 Writer/s: BILL ANDERSON, JON RANDALL

  • Vishakha Singh from CanadaI love the lyrics of Demons by Kenny Chesney! It’s kind of dark but very powerful and profound .. sung beautifully!! We all face our own demons in our lives and try to face our fears and learn to move on, if only we can identify it!!
