Devil Hands

I went down to the cross roads
And I sold the devil my soul
He said that he don't want it
I said I wanna play that rock n roll
And I begged and pleaded with him
And his answer I was dreading
He said there's one condition to our agreement
You've gotta go at 27

But you've gotta use it before you lose it
If you're playing the devils music
So don't abuse or confuse it
If you're playing the devils music

I went out to the crowd and I asked them did they miss me
I started the day out on wine but I'll be finishing it on whiskey
And the hell hounds well they're breathing down my neck
They've got a hell of a lot closer since the last time that I checked

But you've gotta use it before you lose it
If you're playing the devils music
So don't abuse or confuse it
If you're playing the devils music
You've gotta use it before you lose it
If you're playing the devils music
So don't abuse or confuse it

Women and fame were never in my plans
Now everywhere I go they call me Devil Hands
I can't out run my past even if I try
But I'm 27 tomorrow and I ain't ready to die

But you've gotta use it before you lose it
If you're playing the devils music
So don't abuse or confuse it
If you're playing the devils music
You've gotta use it before you lose it
If you're playing the devils music
So don't abuse or confuse it if you're playing the devils music
