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 moonlightI'm goin' to beat the devil
To see my angel tonight, yeahGotta 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 dynamiteSay I'm goin' to beat the devil
To see my angel tonightThere's a little piece of Heaven
Down a snaky Louisiana road
Sweeter than a taste of homemade wine
And hotter than TabascoTearin' up the retreads right foot full of lead
Ain't slowin' down for alligators, copperheads
Like a runaway train barrelin' down the lineI'm goin' to beat the devil
To see my angel tonightGet out of my wayThere's a little piece of Heaven
Down a snaky Louisiana road
Sweeter than a taste of homemade wine
And hotter than TabascoSkeeter filled swampland, shaky bridge quicksand
Runnin' over potholes fast as I can
One left headlight leadin' me to paradiseI'm goin' to beat the devil
To see my angel tonightSay, I'm goin' to beat the devil
To see my angel tonightYeah, I'm goin' to beat the devil
To see my angel tonightOh, yeah, almost there
