The Rattle Within

Lyrics

Oh, holy man save you from a dance with the Devil
 Jesus save you from the bottle of gin
 Voodoo save you from a sleepwalk woman
 Who's gonna save you from the rattle within?
 Well, that voice might come when you're taking your pleasure
 The voice might come when you're resting your bones
 Seek you out when you're sad or smiling
 Track you down when you think you're alone
 Just when you think that your horses are running
 Just when you think that you're fixing to win
 There's that wandering deep inside you
 Who's gonna save you from the rattle within?
 Save me, save me, save me
 From the rattle within
 He wears your shirt and he wears your shoes
 He's living right there inside your skin
 You've got notions, he's got notions
 Who's gonna save you from the rattle within?
 Well, a man's made of muscle
 And he's gonna wrestle
 But when he gets weary, he ain't gonna win
 Who's gonna save you when the tank is empty?
 Who's gonna save you from the rattle within?
 Ah, just when you think that your horses are ready
 Just when you think that you're fixing to win
 There's that wandering deep inside you
 Who's gonna save you from the rattle within?
 Save me, save me, save me
 From the rattle within
 Well, holy man save you from a dance with the Devil
 Jesus save you from the bottle of gin
 Voodoo save you from a sleepwalk woman
 Who's gonna save you from the rattle within?
 Who's gonna save you from the rattle within?
 Who's gonna save you from the rattle within?
