Hell Out of Me
Love Redeems: Unveiling a Country Boy's Confession
Lyrics
I'm that last tab they run at the bar
I represent the last tab, the final expense, at the bar.
I'm a good time that goes too far
I am a good time that often crosses the line.
Yeah, I'm rough around the edges, I'm far from perfection
My personality is rough and imperfect; this is a country boy's confession.
Call this my country boy confession
Describing the speaker's self-awareness and acknowledgment of his country roots.
I was a dead end road with no headlights
I used to be a dead-end road without direction or purpose.
I was good at hello, better at goodbye
Skilled at starting conversations but better at ending them.
Was a one night stop in a settle down town
I was a temporary stop in a town, not looking for commitment.
Was a little more lost than I ever was found
Lost and searching, more so than ever being found.
Dancing with the devil, left foot up on the pedal
Engaging in risky behavior, living on the edge.
Chasing everything that I didn't need
Pursuing things that were unnecessary or harmful.
It took an angel like you
A special person, like an angel, was needed to bring positive change.
To love the hell out of me
Expressing gratitude for the transformative love received.
You showed up when I needed savin'
The significant other arrived when the speaker needed saving.
Like a prayer I didn't know I was prayin', just sayin'
Comparing the arrival to a prayer, acknowledging the unexpected blessing.
We both know right where'd I'd be
Both parties know where the speaker would be without the significant other.
How I got you beats the hell out of me
Expressing surprise at having such a supportive partner.
I was a dead end road with no headlights
Reiterating the speaker's past state of aimlessness and lack of direction.
I was good at hello, better at goodbye
Skilled at initiating relationships but better at ending them.
Was a one night stop in a settle down town
A brief stay in a town without seeking a permanent commitment.
Was a little more lost than I ever was found
Feeling more lost than ever, lacking a sense of purpose.
Dancing with the devil, left foot up on the pedal
Continuing risky behavior, actively pursuing unnecessary things.
Chasing everything that I didn't need
Pursuing things that were detrimental and not needed.
It took an angel like you
Reiterating the transformative impact of the partner's love.
To love the hell out of me, yeah
Grateful acknowledgment of the partner's angelic qualities.
Your love's automatic
The partner's love is described as automatic and unwavering.
That patience, you have it
The partner possesses patience, even with the speaker's flaws.
For all of my no good bad habits
The partner accepts the speaker's negative habits without judgment.
I was a dead end road with no headlights
Reiterating the past state of being directionless and purposeless.
I was good at hello, better at goodbye
Skilled at initiating connections but often ending them.
Was a one night stop in a settle down town
A brief stay in a town without seeking a permanent commitment.
Was a little more lost than I ever was found
Feeling more lost than ever, lacking a sense of purpose.
Dancing with the devil, left foot up on the pedal
Continuing risky behavior, actively pursuing unnecessary things.
Chasing everything that I didn't need
Pursuing things that were detrimental and not needed.
It took an angel like you
Reiterating the transformative impact of the partner's love.
To love the hell out of me
Expressing gratitude for the partner's love that changed the speaker for the better.
