[Verse 1]
There's a snake who lies and waits
And his prey is a praying man
Who lies awake with the what to do's
And the taunting you with a taste of that forbidden fruit
Every day's a day to beat the one before
But temptation's knocking at the door

[Chorus]
It's 3 am, I ain't sleeping again
I'm pleading with God to fight off what I can't fend
Oh no, I'll be damned if that ole devil's waiting for me for to fail
But this soul of mine it ain't for sale

[Verse 2]
Dollar signs and dotted lines
Is it worth losing that peace of mind
For the fancy things ?
Are they what they seem
When you can't cut those puppet strings?
Is it really how it oughta be?

[Chorus]
It's 3 a.m., I ain't sleeping again
Pleading with God to fight off what I can't fеnd
Oh Lord, I'll be damned if that ol' devil's waiting for mе for to fail
But this soul of mine it ain't for sale
[Verse 3]
Yeah, go and get behind me, Satan, in the shadow of the valley
Burdened, but I'm certain 'bout that ol' rod and staff that comforts me
A company of angels fightin' tooth and nail again
Lord, forgive me, give me grace and get me through the night

[Chorus]
It's 3 a.m., I ain't sleeping again
Pleading with God to fight off what I can't fend
Oh, no I'll be damned if that ole devil's waiting for me for to fail
This soul of mine it ain't for sale

[Outro]
Aw, this soul of mine it ain't for sale
Nah, this soul of mine it ain't for sale
