George Jones - The Devil Is Gathering Firewood lyrics

Oh, the devil has turned this big old world into a party place The next year that you got a drink and a lover to embrace Now you think he's being good to you but he's got his sneaky ways And the devil is gathering firewood for the long hot winter days. Oh, the race is on with Jesus to win every soul he can We better get down on our knees and pray if we want to see the promise land We better help Jesus to take the lead 'cause hell is a burning place The devil is gathering firewood for the long hot winter days. He's working every day and night to keep a steady fire A honky tonkin' carnival with anything to ride But if you'll stop and listen you'll hear his act at play And the devil is gathering firewood for the long hot winter days. Oh, the race is on with Jesus to win every soul that he can We better get down on our knees and pray if we want to see the promise land Better help Jesus take the lead cause hell is a burning place The devil is gathering firewood for the long hot winter days. Yes, the devil is gathering firewood for the long hot winter days
