Lyrics

Sticking to my guns, this time I swear
Sticking like tree sap, never gonna tear
Couldn't if I wanted, wouldn't if I dared
Gonna sit my butt in a easy chair
Round and round, till the stroke of three
When I see all hell coming down on me
Not gonna holler, I'm never gonna yell
So the devil, he can just go straight to hell
So the devil, he can just go straight to hell
Going in light, this time I know
Going like a sunbeam, firework show
Gonna keep what I've gotten, gonna grow real slow
Gonna plant my ass on a rodeo
Round and round, till the stroke of nine
I hear all hell coming up from behind
Well, it sounds pretty close, but I really can't tell
So the devil, he can just go straight to hell
So the devil, he can just go straight to hell
Gonna get a break, this time I pray
'Cause I can't get a break doing things my way
Oh, would you be so kind as to pass that knife?
So I can cut off my head and get on with my life
Round and round, till the stroke of one
Seems like the games have just begun
Well, I'm not gonna buy it, and I'm never gonna sell
So the devil, he can just go straight to hell
So the devil, he can just go straight to hell
