  • Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
    Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run

    All the songs you used to sing to me
    Would rock birds to sleep
    I need you now so please somehow
    Put rockets on your feet (oh oh oh oh)

    Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
    Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run

    Saw that dark cloud coming from a million miles away
    Oh how I've dreaded this God forsaken day (oh oh oh oh)

    Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
    Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run

    Mama's been crying in the kitchen
    Sister's been afraid of the dark
    I've been gathering the pieces of all these shattered hearts
    And I don't care where you go to
    And I don't care where you land
    Just get out of there daddy as fast as you can

    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
    Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run

    Run Daddy run, run daddy run
    Run Daddy run, run daddy run
    Run Daddy run, run daddy run Writer/s: ANGALEENA PRESLEY, ASHLEY MONROE, MIRANDA LAMBERT
