Lucifer and the Fallen Angels Lyrics


I run over a squirrel in Arkansas
before the blood wasn't even dry,
When I see a few fallen angels
and Lucifer tryin' to hitch a ride
I pull over, they jump in,
Lucifer says "how far's Mobile?"
I say I don't rightly know,
I'm goin' to Nashville to get a publishin' deal.
And the fallen angels just laugh
Call me Lucif? And listen, don't take this wrong.
"Ain't nobody in this town gonna
wanna publish your song."
"You're cool but you old,
they don't care about that snake farm groove and grip."
"And you didn't make any money
even when that ass Paul Thorn recorded it."
I said, "that's cold,
your worthy of your reputation for bein' evil."

"Ain't no need to sugar coat it"
he said, "unless you're in St. Patrick's Cathedral."
"Anyhow, how 'bout it,
you drivin' us down to Mobile?"
"We'll pay for cash,
buy you a lottery ticket and a confession prayer wheel."
And the fallen angels just laugh
"Might as well" I said,
"If you tell me about getting thrown outta heaven"
Luke said "Sure, first stop at a package store,
let's get a bottle of Seagrams Seven."
I pull into Nervous Charlie's - Fireworks
and All Night Liquor Store.
Luke gets out pulls out a gun,
puts on a ski mask and walks through the door.
And the fallen angels just laugh.
Well, I hear a couple shots,
oh Luke comes runnin' back.
He says, "Make like Ray Charles
and hit the road Jack!"
I pull out almost wrecking,
but I make to the highway somehow.
Luke says, "How do you think that clerk likes
Take Your Sons To Work Day now?"
And the fallen angels just laugh.
I'm persona non-grata now,
barrelin' down the highway.
Luke takes a sip of Seagrams says
"Well as heaven that goes I aint much to say."
I started a small rebellion
never thinking I'd end up hell bound.
"Oh the story was
I got tired of god jacking me around"
Luke says, "I saw you on Jimmy Fallon
singing Drunken Poet's Dream"
"So why go to Nashville
knowing you never ever gonna be mainstream?"
"Go to somewhere like Texas
where they dig roots and blues and country that's real. "
"It's better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven,
that's why I'm going to Mobile."
And the fallen angels just laugh.
And the fallen angels just laugh.
And the fallen angels just laugh.

Ray Wylie Hubbard (born 13 November 1946 in Soper, Oklahoma, moved to Dallas, Texas, USA in 1954) is an American country music singer and songwriter. An active performer since 1965, his song "Up Against the Wall, Redneck Mother" was made famous by Jerry Jeff Walker in 1973. He has recorded and performed continuously since then, apart from a short period in the late 1980s.

With a keen eye of observation and a wise man’s knowledge, Ray Wylie Hubbard composes and performs a dozen songs that couldn’t spring from anywhere else but out of his fertile rock and roll bluesy poet-in-the-blistering-heat southern noggin. ”I like to look at both enlightenment and endarkenment,” he declares. “I feel comfortable observing each.”

His 2010 album "A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment" demonstrates the kind of talent that every great songwriter yearns for. Throughout the album, his focus remains on the song-constructing and performing stories set to music that resonate in a way that is completely his own. Hubbard recruits an ensemble of accomplished musicians to make the album’s larger than life outlaw tunes echo from track to track. Among the musicians featured on the album are Kevin Russell (The Gourds), Gurf Morlix (Lucinda Williams, Robert Earl Keen), Bukka Allen (Ian Moore, Jack Ingram), Billy Cassis (Bob Schneider,Double Trouble, Soulhat), Ray Bonneville (B.B. King, JJ Cale, Muddy Waters), Seth James (Percy Sledge, Delbert McClinton), David Abeyta (Reckless Kelly) and The Trishas as well as his own son, Lucas Hubbard.

The writing and recording of A. Enlightenment B. Endarkenment came on the heels of Hubbard’s first screenplay endeavor, which was funded and filmed with a cast of icons including Kris Kristofferson, Dwight Yoakam and Lizzy Caplan. A weekly radio show, constant touring, and producing kept him busy, but didn’t manage to steal the Texan singer-songwriters focus. The outcome of the album is a juxtaposition of songs like “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” a fundamental gospel piece, and “Drunken Poet’s Dream,” cowritten with Hayes Carll. Read more on Last.fm.
