Callin' me up from a deep sleep dreamin'   Black cat keeps scratchin' at my back door   Cold chills are runnin' cross my shoulder   I've felt that ghost round here before      Somebody sittin' in my kitchen   Nobody else at home but me      I hear a voice keeps callin' my name   Lord, Lord will they ever let me be   Paid my dues for the road I've taken   Done my time for the things I've left behind      Contradictions cloudin' up my future   Wish that they would just let me see      How long will this thing keep hauntin'?   How long must I keep on runnin'?   How long will this devil keep callin' me?      How long will my eyes keep burnin'?   From the image of the world I'm leavin'   How long will this devil keep callin' me?      Stones sittin' right in my pathway   Take me down to the place I don't want to be      Lord my burden just gets so heavy   I wish I could take it and set it free, yeah   Tonight there's a cold moon risin'   Tonight that light is blindin'      How long will this thing keep hauntin'?   How long must I keep on runnin'?   How long will this devil keep callin' me?      How long will my eyes keep burnin'?   From the image of the world I'm leavin'   How long will this devil keep callin' me?      How long will this devil keep callin' me?   How long will this devil keep callin' me?
