Music & Lyrics by Jhett Black
Well, I met the devil, up off fifty-three,
From the window of his Cadillac, he called out to me.
He said 'I got something, boy, that I know you need,
and I can help you out his one time if you can do something for me.'
He handed me a forty-five, and my palm found the grip -
I wonder if I knew then it'd be so hard to let go of it.
I was sent to prison, facing a hopeless trial,
that's where I found out the devil wasn't an only child.
Turned out the warden was his next-of-kin
when he sent me out on parole to do a similar thing for him.
[Chorus]
I got the pistol, you got the blood,
I ain't gonna stop 'till i hear the thud,
I pull the trigger and you hit the mud
'cause the devil is payin' for your head son.
People started talking now in the circles that exist
where a man with my background could be so hard to resist.
So I met the governor - way down in Arkansas.
Told me I could be a righteous man if I would join his cause.
With a bullet proof vest sent over seas, now 'fighting to be free'
doing the work of the devil and his presidency.
[Chorus]
Again I was sent to prison, this time my war crimes on trial,
When they asked me how I pleaded,
I said, 'the devil ain't an only child.'
[Chorus]
