Tell The Devil I'm Bettin' There
115 Fast As I Can

ASR'EOORDEDB'Y

Ray Wylie Hubbard
OOOO

Screamin' in a mic
Playin' a Strat

through a Vox AC-30
Gives a troublesome back
and a ringin' in your ears
My last band covered The Clash
The Kinks
and The Replacements
Seems my soul is as mis-spent

and a ringin' in your ears
It's in an old Anvil case
It's in the back

of a Ford Econoline
It's a six hour drive to Austin
and the Continental Club

of a Ford Econoline
Playin' a Sunburst Gibson
in an aIt-countly band
And lovin' a woman

Tell the devil that I'm gettin' there
as fast as I can
Playin' a Sunburst Gibson
in an alt-country band
And Iovin' a woman

who can out-cuss any man

as fast as I can
in an aIt-countly band
And lovin' a woman
who can out-cuss any man

Tell the devil that I'm gettin' there
as fast as I can
I met her in LA.
We was openin' for Son Volt
She had eyes mascara'd

like Eva Green's

as fast as I can
We was openin' for Son Volt
She had eyes mascara'd
like Eva Green's
She sparkled with wildness
like the blue yonder
She'd done a time in darkness
and was two years clean

like Eva Green's
She sparkled with wildness
like the blue yonder
She got her ink in Tulsa
Still she don't like red-dirt bands
Bein' in love with her
Is like livin' in a thunderstorm

with skulls and thorns
Still she don't like red-dirt bands
Bein' in love with her
Is like livin' in a thunderstorm
Tell the devil that I'm gettin' there
as fast as I can
Playin' a Sunburst Gibson
in an aIt-countly band

ls like livin' in a thunderstorm
Tell the devil that I'm gettin' there
as fast as I can
Playin' a Sunburst Gibson
in an alt-country band
And Iovin' a woman

who can out-cuss any man

as fast as I can
Playin' a Sunburst Gibson
in an aIt-countly band
And lovin' a woman
who can out-cuss any man
Tell the devil that I'm gettin' there
as fast as I can
live in grays and faded purples
And the gamblers

never bet on 12's or 2's
The drunken poets
disappear into big shadows

never bet on 12's or 2's
disappear into big shadows
And the rock 'n' roll believers
sing the Easy Rider Blues

Tell the devil that I'm gettin' there
as fast as I can
Playin' a Sunburst Gibson
in an aIt-countly band

sing the Easy Rider Blues
Tell the devil that I'm gettin' there
as fast as I can
Playin' a Sunburst Gibson
in an alt-country band
And Iovin' a woman

who can out-cuss any man

as fast as I can
Playin' a Sunburst Gibson
in an aIt-countly band
And lovin' a woman
who can out-cuss any man
Tell the devil that I'm gettin' there
as fast as I can
