Hellhole on the wrong side of the station
Smoke pouring in and out the door
Bring it in with a big reputation
Gonna show you what the gloves are for
Back room got a pole and a jukebox
No rules if you're paying right
Rock billy boys hanging round the nine ball
'Nother pitcher and their gonna pick a fight
Road house girls raised on the good times
Long legged with the 3 inch heels
Not in it to walk on a fine line
Not in it for the way it feels
Cat call get you pulled in a back room
Want to show you what they can do
Hair back, eyes closed like a Sunday
Trade you for a dime bag or two
Black boots, bloody knuckles and a heartbeat
Hell baby it's about damn time
You wanna dance with the devil and a deadman
Take a number girl and get in line
Young lady with a scorpion tattoo
Nine millimeter in her waist
White jeans, mean hips, red lipstick
Got 'em dying just to get a taste
Old man with the godless hairdo
Did a couple tours in Vietnam
Came home, took a licking in the dope fight
Got a bone to pick with Uncle Sam
Burly fucker with the worn in steel toe
Mean mugging 'til the day he dies
Talk to him with the least bit of salt son
You and him are gonna take it outside
Eight-balling to stay off the moonshine
Deep down with the ball and the chain
Keep quiet to stay on his good side
Hundred dollars to forget his name
Black boots, bloody knuckles and a heartbeat
Hell baby it's about damn time
You wanna dance with the devil and a deadman
Take a number girl and get in line
Liquor store whore coming down from the day before
Hooked on amphetamine
Used to smoke that Chinese snakeskin
'Til she got a cut that wasn't clean
Smoke shows take it off for the weekend
Blue collars dipping in their check
Boyfriend catch a fella get a handful
Take a tire iron to his neck
Street king with the jewelry on display
Hyena of the human race
Young boy got a stolen switchblade
And a plan to put him in his place
Street fire with the summer bloodlust
Black Chevy with a shot up door
Two bodies and the cops are coming
No telling what the debt was for
Black boots, bloody knuckles and a heartbeat
Hell baby it's about damn time
You wanna dance with the devil and a deadman
Take a number girl and get in line
Black boots, bloody knuckles and a heartbeat
Hell baby it's about damn time
You wanna dance with the devil and a deadman
Take a number girl and get in line
