Devil Hands

I went down to the cross roads

And I sold the devil my soul

He said that he don't want it

I said I wanna play that rock n roll

And I begged and pleaded with him

And his answer I was dreading

He said there's one condition to our agreement

You've gotta go at 27

But you've gotta use it before you lose it

If you're playing the devils music

So don't abuse or confuse it

If you're playing the devils music

I went out to the crowd and I asked them did they miss me

I started the day out on wine but I'll be finishing it on whiskey

And the hell hounds well they're breathing down my neck

They've got a hell of a lot closer since the last time that I checked

But you've gotta use it before you lose it

If you're playing the devils music

So don't abuse or confuse it

If you're playing the devils music

You've gotta use it before you lose it

If you're playing the devils music

So don't abuse or confuse it

Women and fame were never in my plans

Now everywhere I go they call me Devil Hands

I can't out run my past even if I try

But I'm 27 tomorrow and I ain't ready to die

But you've gotta use it before you lose it

If you're playing the devils music

So don't abuse or confuse it

If you're playing the devils music

You've gotta use it before you lose it

If you're playing the devils music

So don't abuse or confuse it if you're playing the devils music
