He's a southern man, sippin' on the grain
He's a Cool Hand Luke, laughin' at his fate
There's a black sedan, hell is at the wheel
It's a one night stand, nothin' left to deal
You better get ready, gonna get heavy
Walkin the wire, washed in the fire
Better get runnin', it's comin' undone and
Oh, baby there's no way out
Burnin it to the ground
Starin' the devil down
He's your first mistake, it won't be your last
Habit you can't shake, bottom of the glass
It's a naggin' itch, tappin at your vein
Like a wounded dog, chewin' on his chain
You better get ready, gonna get heavy
Walkin the wire, washed in the fire
Better get runnin', it's comin' undone and
Oh, baby there's no way out
Burnin it to the ground
Starin' the devil down
Your demons comfort you like angels
Surround you like familiar strangers, oh
It's a single slip, make a body fall
Its a steady drip, breakin' down the wall
He's the best excuse, and the worse mistake
And there ain't no cure, nothin' you can take
You better get ready, gonna get heavy
Walkin the wire, washed in the fire
Better get runnin', it's comin' undone and
Oh, baby there's no way out
Burnin it to the ground
Starin' the devil down
