We found him by the roadside
Nothing to him but his name
He struggled to his feet
Withered from the heat
Cussing 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 looking 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 looking for trouble you found it because I live in hell
Now I'm standing 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 looking for trouble you found it because I live in hell
I live in hell
I live in hell
I live in hell
