Flyin' down a flat track bottle in a brown sack
Pistons pumpin' in a poor boys cadillac
Cross the Mississippi crazy on the pale moonlight
Lord I'm goin' to beat the devil
To see my angel tonight... yeah
Gotta go can't stop smokin' like a chimney top
Heart's on fire got me heated up real hot
Burnin' down the bayou like a lit stick of dynamite
Say I'm goin' to beat the devil
To see my angel tonight
There's a little piece of heaven down a snakey lousiana road
Sweeter than a taste of homemade wine and hotter than tobasco
Tearin' up the retreads right foot full of lead
Ain't slowin' down for alligators copperheads
Like a runaway train barrelin' down the line
Hey I'm goin' to beat the devil
To see my angel tonight... get out of my way
There's a little piece of heaven down a snakey lousiana road
Sweeter than a taste of homemade wine and hotter than tobasco
Skeeter filled swamp land shakey bridge quicksand
Runnin' over potholes fast as i can
One left headlight leadin' me to paridise
Lord I'm goin' to beat the devil
To see my angel tonight
Say I'm goin' to beat the devil
To see my angel tonight
Hey I'm goin' to beat the devil
To see my angel tonight
Lord I'm almost there
