Blacktop Gospel
Cowboy in a Suit
Verse 1
I was raised on hard rain
And a mean old name
County road scars on my boots
Church door broke
Backseat smoke
Mama said, "Boy, tell the truth"
Verse 2
I keep a .45 prayer
In the glovebox there
Next to a paycheck gone thin
I don't bend low
I don't bow slow
I just grin and let it in
Pre-Chorus
If the devil wants a dance
He can show his hand
I got grit in my teeth tonight
I been dragged through hell
Still standing well
Yeah, I'm mean in the pale moonlight
Chorus
I live like a bad damn son
I live like a bad damn son
If you want me gone, come run
I'm hell on wheels and I don't come undone
Bad damn son
Bad damn son
Verse 3
There’s a stain on the floorboards
From a wrong turn war
And a heartbreak I won't name
I kissed that wreck
Then I left
With a black sky in my veins
Pre-Chorus
If the devil wants a dance
He can show his hand
I got grit in my teeth tonight
I been dragged through hell
Still standing well
Yeah, I'm mean in the pale moonlight
Chorus
I live like a bad damn son
I live like a bad damn son
If you want me gone, come run
I'm hell on wheels and I don't come undone
Bad damn son
Bad damn son
Bridge
Let the preacher talk
Let the judges bark
I was born with a fight in my chest
You can keep your gold
I’ll keep my soul
And the scars on my leather vest
I live like a bad damn son
I live like a bad damn son
If you want me gone, come run
I'm hell on wheels and I don't come undone
Bad damn son
Bad damn son
