Eric Church - Monsters lyrics

I killed my first monster when
I was seven years old
He melted like butter in
My bathroom's sixty-watt bulb
Kept a three-cell MagLite from
Daddy's workshop drawer
Under my pillow and I'd pull it like a sword

Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps
Me up at night fallin' on my knees is my
New turnin' on the light
I keep my faith intact
Make sure my prayers are said
'Cause, I've learned that the monsters ain't
The ones beneath the bed

The wolf hunts a hungry man and
The devil a lonely heart
A minefield of bad decisions lay
Hidin' in the dark
Greed stalks, sickness steals
And pride lays a wicked trap
You can't avoid 'em all, no
You gotta trust me on that

Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps
Me up at night fallin' on my knees is my
New turnin' on the light
I keep my faith intact
And make sure my prayers are said
'Cause, I've learned that the monsters ain't
The ones beneath the bed

Daddy, check my closet
Leave on the bathroom light i smile and say
"All clear" when I tuck him in for the night
But Daddy, I'm still scared
Can I sleep with you instead?
I kneel down beside my little man
And I bow my head

Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps
Me up at night fallin' on my knees is my
New turnin' on the light
I keep my faith intact
Make sure my prayers are said
'Cause, I've learned that the monsters ain't
The ones beneath the bed
And I've learned that the monsters
Ain't underneath the bed
