Story behind the song

I was mad at my wife and trying to think of a way to escape

Lyrics

Lookin’ for the Devil
Gordon L. West 

She was a long legged beauty
Up from Georgia don’t you know
And she was on her way to Memphis
When I met her on the road
Her soft southern accent 
Touched me deep down in my soul.


And I knew her when I saw her
‘Cause I met her in my dreams
She was everything I wanted
Boys you know just what I mean
Yeah she was all I’d ever wanted
And everything  I did not need

And now I’m looking for the devil
‘Cause I got a soul to sell
Or else that woman’s gonna take it
Like she took everything else
I thought she’d take me to Heaven
But she’s puttin’ me through Hell

Well she did all those woman things 
That are sure to please a man
And before I saw it comin’ 
It was please and that you mamma
So now I’m looking for the crossroads
Make the best deal that I can

Yeah, I’m looking for the devil
‘Cause I got a soul to sell
Or else that woman’s gonna take it
Like she took everything else
I thought she’d take me to Heaven
But she’s puttin’ me through Hell

Yeah, I’m looking for the devil
‘Cause I got a soul to sell
Or else that woman’s gonna take it
Like she took everything else
I thought she’d take me to Heaven
But she’s puttin’ me through Hell
