Lyrics

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

Ch: (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

Ch: (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

Br: Your demons comfort you like angels
Surround you like familiar strangers...oh

It’s a single slip, makes 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

Repeat Ch
