Biography

Rodney Allan Atkins (born March 28, 1969) is an American country music singer and songwriter. Signed to Curb Records in 1996, he charted his first single on the Billboard country chart in 1997, but did not release an album until 2003's Honesty, which included the hit single "Honesty (Write Me a List)". If You're Going Through Hell, his second album, was released in 2006. Its first two singles, "If You're Going Through Hell (Before the Devil Even Knows)" and "Watching You", each spent four weeks at number one the country music chart, and were respectively ranked as the top country songs of 2006 and 2007 according to Billboard Year-End. The album, which has since been certified platinum in the United States, produced two more number one singles in "These Are My People" and "Cleaning This Gun (Come On In Boy)". It's America (2009) included the number one single "It's America" and the Top 5 hit "Farmer's Daughter", which was added to a later reissue of the album. Take a Back Road (2011) produced his sixth number one in its title track, and 2019's Caught Up in the Country set a record for the longest run on the country singles charts with its title track. Atkins has received six nominations from the Academy of Country Music and two from the Country Music Association, winning Top New Male Vocalist from the former in 2006.

LYRICS

Well you know those times when you feel like
there's a sign there on your back
that says i don't mind if you kick me, seems like everybody has
things go from bad to worse
you think it can't get worse than that
and then they do

you step off the straight and narrow
and you don't know where you are
used the needle of your compass, to sew up your broken heart
ask directions from a genie in a bottle of jim beam
and she lies to you
that's when you learn the truth

chorus

if you're goin' through hell keep on going
don't slow down if you're scared don't show it
you might get out before the devil even knows you're there

i've been deep down in that darkness
i've been down to my last match
felt a hundred different demons breathin' fire down my back
and i knew that if i stumbled i'd fall right into the trap
that they were layin'

but the good news is there's angels everywhere out on the street
holdin' out a hand to pull you back up on your feet
the one's that you've been draggin' for so long
you're on your knees might as well be prayin'
guess what i'm sayin'

chorus

if you're goin' through hell keep on going
don't slow down if you're scared don't show it
you might get out before the devil even knows you're there
when you're goin' through heaven keep on movin'
face that fire walk right through it
you might get out before the devil even knows you're there

if you're goin' through hell keep on going
don't slow down if you're scared don't show it
you might get out before the devil even knows you're there
when you're goin' through heaven keep on movin'
face that fire walk right through it
you might get out before the devil even knows you're there
you might get out before the devil even knows you're there
