We found 'im by the roadside, nothing to him but his name

He struggled to his feet, withered from the heat, cussin' at the street

"I don't want your help, I just want to know where I am"

Then he slowly looked around, recognized the town, then he laid back down

If you think I'm the devil, it's only because I live in hell

If you're lookin' for trouble, you found it because I live in hell

When she walked into the courthouse, the blood on her blouse was still wet

They took one look at her face, certain of the case

A horrible disgrace

"I don't want your mercy, I want you to know why I'm here"

Then she told them of the pain

The horrible refrain of a life in chains

If you think I'm the devil, it's only because I live in hell

If you're lookin' for trouble, you found it because I live in hell

Now I'm standin' right in front of you

And the only thing I can pursue is to show you that I'm not what you think I am

So if you think I'm the devil, it's only because I live in hell

And if you're lookin' for trouble, you found it because I live in hell

I live in hell

I live in hell
