I wrote this song based on an experience in a Denton County Holding Cell. It's one of my most requested songs that I perform in Texas.
Lyrics
“Devil’s Den” Key: F# Author: Lauren Marie Farmer Another lonesome sunrise at the devils county den I danced too close with evil now I’m paying for my sins My lawyer says I’m lucky I’ll see the light of day But before I get to restless I better learn again how to pray There’s a girl that I call Trina On the other side of the cell She’s laughing with her demons Too stoned to cry for help The face of human suffering Ya sinners know their fate I know just how I got here And I damn sure aint gonna stay Oh Mama, won’t you help a little girl out Oh mama, the devils den, ya it’s got me down Night time don’t mean sleeping In a concrete hollow hell And if you close your eyes you start thinking Your body’s someplace else There’s a fear of knowing you’ll wake With a stranger by your side And it’s enough to keep you pacing While the devil shuts his eyes I got 14 hours left of my sentence time to spend I’m gonna try to and chase away what I’ve seen With a bible and a pen They say doing time will make you Never want to be here again Ya well all I learned in this county cell Is to be smarter when I sin Oh mama, won’t you help a little girl out Oh mama, the devils den, ya it’s got me down Oh mama, won’t you help a little girl out Ya mama, the devils den, ya it’s got me down
