You Won’t Illuminate Me

You Won’t Illuminate Me
(Jacob R. McGowen)

[1st Verse]

You can have your red shoe clubs
And all the islands that you want
I don’t need my name in lights
Or a Lolita jet to call my own

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t need a song to sell
Or any movies or tv shows
And you ain’t ever gonna get
Your hands on my country soul


[Chorus]

For you won’t illuminate me!

So, get yourself ole Devil behind me!

No, you won’t illuminate me!

So, get yourself ole Devil behind me!
For you won’t illuminate me!

So, get yourself ole Devil behind me!

No, you won’t illuminate me!

So, get yourself ole Devil behind me!

[2nd Verse]

You offer them so much pleasure
A life of plenty with no pain

That millions will adore them

If they will give you all their praise

[Pre-Chorus]

And you take them up on mountains
And you offer them a world of fame
But, as for me, I sure ain’t ever
Gonna fall for your old games


[2nd Chorus]

For you won’t illuminate me!

So, get yourself ole Devil behind me!

No, you won’t illuminate me!

So, get yourself ole Devil behind me!
For you won’t illuminate me!
So, get yourself ole Devil behind me!
No, you won’t illuminate me!

So, get yourself ole Devil behind me!

[Bridge]

So, keep all of your hand signs

Your white parties and your pizza too

And know that I ain’t ever

Gonna give my soul away to you!

[Outro]
For you won’t illuminate me!

So, get yourself ole Devil behind me!

No, you won’t illuminate me!
So, get yourself ole Devil behind me!
For you won’t illuminate me!

So, get yourself ole Devil behind me!
No, you won’t illuminate me!

So, get yourself ole Devil behind me!
