Story behind the song
This song was inspired by a real place near my childhood home near Louisville Kentucky
Lyrics
Devil’s Backbone
By E Johnson
By the (G)Ohio (F)River not (C)far from my(G) home
There’s a (G)cliff on Floyd(F) Mountain, all(C) brush and (G)limestone
Where(G) we held each (F)other and you (C)called me your (G)own
As we(G) stood at the (F)top of the (C)Devil’s Back(G)bone
Cho
Now the (D)wild wind is singing in a (C)heartbroken(G) tone
“your (D)woman’s deceived you and (C)left you (G)alone”
The(G) love that you promised took(C) wings and has flown
Like the (G)hawks in the sky over (D)Devil’s Back(G)bone
Many things I can see from this place high above
It’s clear to me now that another you love
God forgive what I’d do if I had you alone
Standing here at the edge of the Devil’s Backbone
