Well it's a hard road to hell but my horse is made of steel
I'm riding with my brothers on my way down to Mobile
Going to meet up with the devil and I'm going to make him a deal

Leaving Tuscaloosa down highway 43
The sun's going down and the devil is waiting on me
They got him locked up and I'm the only one with a key

We roll into town and the clock says 2 A.M.
Down by the water on the corner of Charleston
Put down my kickstand and I walk right up to him

I look him in the eyes and I said I'm giving you my soul
But starting today until the day they put me in a hole
I ain't doing shit except playing that rock and roll

The devil done took my soul
The devil done took my soul
The devil he took it, he done took my soul

The devil just smiled and said I've already got your soul
You better hurry up and sign if you still want to enroll
Cause your clock is still ticking but we've already dug the hole

I get back on my bike and head West out of mobile
Haulin ass out of town with my brothers close on my heals
Cause I'm mad enough to fight and mean enough to club a seal

We pull into a dive bar just past Baton rouge
I sit next to a honey and I show her my new tattoo
It says rock and roll forever she says I only like the blues

The lights are down low and they're playing some Memphis Slim
I looked at her and said I can't play like him
She said you play blues from your soul then I thought I saw her grin

The devil done took my soul
The devil done took my soul
The devil he took it, he done took my soul

The devil done took my soul
The devil done took my soul
The devil he took it, he done took my soul
