Goin' To Beat The Devil (to See My Angel Tonight)

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
