Chris Stapleton told Billboard magazine the story behind this track. "I wrote the opening of the song as we drove all night to Billings, Montana," he explained. "I was in a band called the SteelDrivers, and we were driving from Wyoming."
"The song is pretty autobiographical," Stapleton added. "I was on the road playing bluegrass, and we were out there hitting it hard as hard as we could, trying to matter. A lot of the song is about that."
Stapleton elaborated on the story behind the song during an interview with American Songwriter magazine. "Most of the song is all real stuff," he explained. "The band had played some horse farm gig in Wyoming, then rented a mini van and driven God knows how many hours to Billings, Montana, because that was the closest airport."
"We checked into an airport hotel to get an hour of sleep in our shared rooms. Then we got up, went to the airport and checked in for a 5:30 a.m. flight, which was going to Salt Lake City. I don't remember changing planes in Denver, because I was so whipped and punch drunk, but apparently we did. And then we got to Salt Lake City, which is 10,000 feet up in the air, and I weighed 300 pounds at the time, so it felt like torture. Then we played a gig."
"That's what that song is about. I missed my kid and I missed my wife, and I was getting an idea of what it was like to be a touring musician."

We drove all night to Billings, Montana
Flew in Utah slept there all day
I can’t remember stopping in Denver
Yeah I live my illsuion that somebody needs me to play

Sometimes I’m drunk
Sometimes I’m stoned
& yes I get tired of being alone
I miss my son
I miss my wife
But the devil named music is taking my life

I sold my soul a long time ago
& put it in a six string & a sad melody
& I’m sometimes a winner most times a loser
But if the crowd gets into it well it all feels the same way to me

Sometimes I’m drunk
Sometimes I’m stoned
& yes I get tired of being alone
I miss my daughter
I miss my wife
But the devil named music is taking my life

Sometimes I’m drunk
Sometimes I’m stoned
& yes I get tired of being alone
I miss my son
I miss my wife
But the devil named music is taking my life

Sometimes I’m drunk
Sometimes I’m stoned
& yes I get tired of being alone
I miss my daughter
I miss my wife
But the devil named music is taking my life

Yeah the devil named music is taking my life

The Devil Named Music

We drove all night to Billings, Montana

Flew into Utah, slept there all day

I can’t remember stopping in Denver

Yeah, I live my illusion that somebody needs me to play

Sometimes I’m drunk

Sometimes I’m stoned

And yes, I get tired of being alone

I miss my son

I miss my wife

But the devil named music is taking my life

Now I sold my soul a long time ago

I put it in a six string and a sad melody

And I’m sometimes a winner, most times a loser

If the crowd gets into it, it’ll all feel the same way to me

Sometimes I’m drunk

Sometimes I’m stoned

And yes, I get tired of being alone

I miss my daughter

I miss my wife

But the devil named music is taking my life

Sometimes I’m drunk

Sometimes I’m stoned

And yes, I get tired of being alone

I miss my son

I miss my wife

But the devil named music is taking my life

Sometimes I’m drunk

Sometimes I’m stoned

And yes, I get tired of being alone

I miss my daughter

I miss my wife

But the devil named music is taking my life
