Don't you say nothing, don't you speak your mind

Devil's gonna come for you, he'll get to you in time

Devil's gonna come for you, he'll get to you in time

Devil got me down, run me out of town
Expressing feeling downtrodden and forced out of a place by the Devil.
Devil got me down, run me out of town

You can't run from him, ain't nowhere to hide
Emphasizing the inevitability of facing the Devil; nowhere to escape.
He's been doin this since the dawn of time
Indicating the Devil's enduring presence throughout history.
If you are a pretty girl, he'd love to take your life
Suggesting that the Devil targets individuals, particularly women.
You'll never have a senior prom, you'll never be a wife
Implying that the Devil robs opportunities and milestones from his victims.
Devil got me down, run me out of town
Reiterating the impact of the Devil's influence on the speaker's life.
Devil got me down, run me out of town
