lyrics

I was floating on the Winter wind
suddenly it all went South, all went South.
I was gambling in the church of sin
when I stood up and shot my mouth off, shot my mouth off.

Said, "if you gamblin with my soul
I can't die old and never live young."
Church bell rang thirteen times,
one for each bullet, every time I oughta died.
Reachin at the preacher he conjured my sins,
fire and brimstone rocked my ribs.

He said, "you caged on the cross
just like my boss. Wicked jabbing thorns
like the pain of being born, like the pain of being born.
Nothin you can do to get the keys to Heaven or to Hell
looking like a fool tranced in a Devil spell.
Hot red coals are your eyes and your blood run cold, blood run cold."

I ain't join down like this, man.
I had a simple plan.
No one traps the should of this man.
Mama never let me step on tombstones
but the wild wind gripped me
and the Devil up and whipped me.
