I Just Got Back From Hell
Gary Allan · Tough All Over [MCA] [2005]
I know it's really hard to tell, don't know how I survived
But I cant say I'm doin' great but I think I'm doin' well
The Devil's gonna have to wait 'cause I just got back from Hell.
Well, I just got back from Hell and I guess to tell the truth
Well, I've been mad at everyone including God and you
When you cant find no one to blame you just blame yourself
And I know I'll never be the same, I just got back from Hell.
Forgive me if I had any part. if I ever broke your heart in two
Forgive me for what I didn't know, or what I didn't say or do
And God, forgive me as well
'Cause I just got back from Hell.
Well, I just got back from Hell and I need to make some plans
It's the last thing that I wanna do but I'll do the best I can
I'm gonna learn to live again but I think I'll sit a spell
Tell the world that I'm alive and I just got back from Hell.
I can't say that I'm doin' great but I think I'm gettin' well
Gonna let the world know I'm alive
And I just got back from Hell
And I just got back from Hell.
I just got back from Hell.
Got back from Hell...
