Rodney Atkins If You're Going Through Hell (Before the Devil Even Knows) lyrics

Well you know those times
When you feel like there's a sign there on your back
Says I don't mind if ya kick me seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse you'd think they can't get worse than that
And then they do

You step off the straight and narrow and you don't know where you are
Use the needle of your compass to sew up your broken heart
Ask directions from a genie in a bottle of Jim Beam
And she lies to you, that's when you'll learn the truth

If you're going through hell keep on going
Don't slow down, if you're scared, don't show it
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there

Well I been deep down in that darkness, I been down to my last match
Felt a hundred different demons breathing fire down my back
And I knew that if I stumbled I'd fall right into the trap
That they were laying, yeah

But the good news is there's angels everywhere out on the street
Holding out a hand to pull you back upon your feet
The ones that you been dragging for so long you're on your knees

You might as well be free

Guess what I'm saying
If you're going through hell keep on going
Don't slow down, if you're scared, don't show it
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, if you're going through hell keep on moving
Face that fire walk right through it
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there

If you're going through hell keep on going
Don't slow down, if you're scared, don't show it
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, if you're going through hell, keep on moving
Face that fire, walk right through it
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there
Yeah you might get out before the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, ooh
