=Verse

The devil come down to talk to me

He wanna whisper in my ear

Tell me how my life ought to be

Tell me what I wanna hear

He say Ya see that yonder woman

Ya know she’ll He say she keep me warm at night

When I know she nothing but trouble

kinda trouble make you loose your life

 

=Chorus

I said you take my soul, you’d better have more than a loaded gun

No peddle to the metal don’t mean nothing when the break man come

 

=Verse

He fed me a bottle of whiskey

My eyes turned bloodshot red

Coming on the scene like an RPG

Full boar to my death bed

I said the mercury began to rise

And the blood a real hot did run  

every single hair stood up on end

Rising up like a bastard son

 

=Chorus

I said you take my soul, you’d better have more than a loaded gun

No peddle to the metal don’t mean nothing when the break man come

 

=Verse

You see the whiskey and the devil

Are next to one and the same

You drink the sweet blood of the bottle

You’ll be screaming in the night his name

Some fight the devil with a cross on high

or the Buddha from the foreign land

I fight the devil with a little soul

and this here guitar in my hand

 

=Chorus

I said you take my soul, you’d better have more than a loaded gun

No peddle to the metal don’t mean nothing when the break man come

 

=Verse

did your mamma ever tell you son

when you were just a baby child

dont step in (to or side) a fenced in pen

with a rabid dog thats wild

have you a Smith & Wesson

or a shotgun tried and true

when the break man comes a looking for your hide 

theres nothing you can do
