Kaleo - Broken Bones Lyrics






The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
Oh, the devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free

I've been down, deep Texas; Mississippi state
Hoping things might go my way
For every hard earned dollar I make
There stands a white man just to take it away
Some might say I talk loud, see if I care
Unlike them, don't walk away from my fear
I've busted bones, broken stones, looked the devil in the eye
I hope he's going to break these chains, oh yeah

The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
(Yeah, set me free)

Another hard day, no water, no rest
I saw my chance, so I got him at last
I took his six shooter, put two in his chest
He'll never say a word no more
Oh, he'll never say a word no more
The devil got him good for sure

Ain't got no place to call a home
Only chains and broken bones
Ain't got no place to call a home
So come on Lord, won't you take me now?
Ain't got no place to call a home
Only chains and broken bones
Ain't got no place to call a home
So come on Lord, what you waiting for?

Oh, the devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free
The devil's going to make me a free man
The devil's going to set me free

Ain't got no place to call a home
(The devil's going to make me a free man)
Only chains and broken bones
(The devil's going to set me free)
Ain't got no place to call a home
(The devil's going to make me a free man)
So come on Lord, won't you take me now?
(The devil's going to set me free)
Ain't got no place to call a home
(The devil's going to make me a free man)
Only chains and broken bones
(The devil's going to set me free)
Ain't got no place to call a home
(The devil's going to make me a free man)
So come on Lord, what you waiting for?
(The devil's going to set me free)

    Somebody please! Make a karaoke version of this masterpiece! I beg you!

  2. A.... J....

    When u find peace in nothing..... Song is the medicine 🎼

  3. G.... M....

    Who wants a Kaleo and The Black Keys tour???

  4. H.... P....

    If you listening this you have a good music taste

  5. N.... w....

    That's a pretty cool song. I can't say it's true for me about the devil though. He's boring.. never did much for me. He gets too much credit really for supposedly being all that.. but anything I did I still technically did it under the hand of God. As I said to some in there I do believe in God as in biblical God.. so anything produced within there was with his knowledge.. he was the one who allowed me to see what I did. Funny how it was the religious who opposed it.. hmm. My God is a God of freedom.. though maybe not everything I did was representative of Godly behaviour.. the purpose I guess was still to be able to see things from a different perspective and then show the churches how damaging they can be to the sexual desires that are healthy.. and the ability to have a sense of humour and not be offended over every little issue.. it's fucking tiresome.. some are just so determined to find the bad in a person that they will never see the good

  6. E.... G....

    You 4(KALEO) are definitely My Tribe.

  7. M.... J....

    devil gonna set me free

  10. f.... 1....

    I'm an African-American. I know that other African-Americans might find this song offensive and get mad because he's a white man singing this, but I'm not. Is that bad?

    f.... 1....

    As a white Icelander I hope you will all forgive us :)

    f.... 1....

    @Heimir Hannesson I'm a Christian and I don't really hold grudges. What they did my people was beyond terrible, but I'm not one to hate people. I know that you guys didn't do it, it was those monstrous like minded people back then, so you guys don't have to apologize for doing something you didn't do. I guess with this song, I appreciate that a white man has enough guts to sing this song. I appreciate that a white man can see what was happening and spoke on behalf of us. Perhaps that's why I like it. Plus it's kind of catchy

  11. M.... G....
