Flyin` down a flat track, bottle in a brown sack
Pistons pumpin` in a poor boy`s Cadillac
Cross the Mississippi, crazy on the pale moonlight
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
I`m goin` to beat the devil
To see my angel tonight
There`s a little piece of Heaven down a snaky
Louisiana 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
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 snaky
Louisiana road
Sweeter than a taste of homemade wine and hotter
Than Tobasco
Skeeter filled swampland, shaky bridge quicksand
Runnin` over potholes fast as I can
One left headlight leadin` me to paradise
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
Yeah, I`m goin` to beat the devil
To see my angel tonight
Ahh yeah, almost there
