LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL
© 2023 by Jeff Platts
Get on out of my way!
Can’t you see how busy I am just running away?
There’s no need for me to shout about it, I’ve been freed, that’s all I know about it,
Give me speed to keep running away, Look Out!
I was flirting with sin when I stumbled and fell, Then Satan himself put me under his spell,
Jesus set me free, He let me out of my cell,
Now I’m runnin’ from the devil like a bat out of hell.
I can’t stop to play!
I’m toast if slow down, so I gotta keep running away!
There’s no use to get upset about it, It’s old news you must have read about it,
These old shoes they just keep running away, Here’s why!
I was flirting with sin when I stumbled and fell, Then Satan himself put me under his spell,
Jesus set me free, He let me out of my cell,
Now I’m runnin’ from the devil like a bat out of hell.
I’d love to stay!
But the devil’s hot on my tail, so I can’t stop running away!
There’s no time to stop and chat about it, I don’t mind if you get mad about it,
I’ll be fine if I keep running away, Watch out!
I was flirting with sin when I stumbled and fell, Then Satan himself put me under his spell,
Jesus set me free, He let me out of my cell,
Now I’m runnin’ from the devil like a bat out of hell.
I was flirting with sin when I stumbled and fell, Then Satan himself put me under his spell,
Jesus set me free, He let me out of my cell,
Now I’m runnin’ from the devil like a bat out of hell.
I saw you today!
If I were you I’d start thinking real hard about running away!
Get a clue don’t make a stink about it, It’s all true you’d better think about it,
He wants you, so start running away, Don’t delay!
I was flirting with sin when I stumbled and fell, Then Satan himself put me under his spell,
Jesus set me free, He let me out of my cell,
Now I’m runnin’ from the devil like a bat out of hell.
I’m runnin’ from the devil like a bat out of hell.
I’m runnin’ from the devil like a bat out of hell.
