Take the pieces out and put em' back in
Chew it up and spit it back out, all over again
Too tired to work, too worked to sin
I'm feeling that devil crawling out of my skin
Don't take me light boy, I'm a serious guy
One slip of your lip and it'll be goodbye
Don't do me wrong, cause I'll do you right
You'll be staring down the barrel of 45.
Hang me high, leave me out to croak
I know I'm gonna fry about the words that I spoke
I'm dreaming again about the end of the rope
I'm feeling his hands clenching 'round my throat
I can't sleep at night boys, I'm always awake
One wrong step and that'd be a mistake
I'll cut you down with the end of my rake
And you'll be feeling that iron gouging out your face
I'm feeling that devil crawling out my skin
I am that devil and my hands are red
A lot of bad luck, and mistakes again
I thought I fooled that devil, but I sinned again
