Tell the Devil I'm Gettin' there as Fast as I Can

Screamin' in a map

Playin' a Strat through a Vox AC30

Gives a troublesome back and a ringin' in the ears

My last band covered The Clash

The Kinks and The Replacements

Seams my soul is as misspent as my years

And I got a Princeton reverb

It's in an old angle case

It's in the back of a Ford Econoline

It's a six hour drive to Austin

And the continental club

I gotta change the strings on my ES-335

Tell the Devil that I'm gettin' there as fast as I can

Playin' a sunburst Gibson in an all country band

And lovin' a woman who can out cuss any man

Tell the Devil that I'm gettin' there as fast as I can

I met her in LA

We was openin' for Savo

She had eyes mascaraed like evil grace

She sparkled with wildness

Like full blue yonder

She done a time in darkness and was two years clean

She wears an old leather jacket

It was made by Ira Saints

And boots engraved with skulls and thorns

She got a reap in Tulsa

Still she don't like red dirt bands

Bein' in love with her's like livin' in a thunderstorm

Tell the Devil that I'm gettin' there as fast as I can

Playin' a sunburst Gibson in an all country band

And lovin' a woman who can out cuss any man

Tell the Devil that I'm gettin' there as fast as I can

Now the faithless live and graze in faded purples

And the gamblers never bet on twelves or twos

The drunken ploys disappear into deep shadows

And the rock and roll believers signed an easy ride or blows

Tell the Devil that I'm gettin' there as fast as I can

Playin' a sunburst Gibson in an all country band

And lovin' a woman who can out cuss any man

Tell the Devil that I'm gettin' there as fast as I can
