"All God Did" lyrics - LUKAS NELSON

LUKAS NELSON
"All God Did"

I gave some money to a monk, and I sat there in his chair
I emptied thoughts of futures past and cut off all my hair
I shut my eyes and waited there from sun to rain and snow

[Chorus:]
Then all God did
Was smile a little bit
And all the Devil did
Was chew his dip and spit
He chewed his dip and spit
He chewed his dip, and he spit

I fell into a wasted crowd and drove myself to drink
And in the early mornin' hours thought all that I could think
My image of myself became the me you used to know

[Chorus:]
But all God did
Was smile a little bit
And all the Devil did
Was chew his dip and spit
He chewed his dip, and he spit
He chewed his dip, and he spit

I elevated after that to levels very high
Became a master of my dreams, the servant was my mind
And from my lofty perch above, encouraged her to grow

[Chorus:]
And all God did
Was chew his dip and spit
And all the Devil did
Was smile a little bit
He smiled a little bit

[Post-Chorus:]
The Devil only smiled
The Devil only smiled

When lonely I did soon become, l made my way back down
I gave away my favorite toys, relinquished my own crown
I took up smoking once again, the me you used to know

[Chorus:]
But all God did
Was smile a little bit
And all the Devil did
Was chew his dip and spit
He chewed his dip, and he spit
He chewed his dip, and he spit
