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 Louisiana 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 paradise 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
