They say I was baptized in dirty water By the hands of the devil himself Between the banks of a whiskey river Beside the highway to hell I got scars on my heart and knuckles I got debts that I ain't pay Yeah but I got a blessing that was sent down from heaven, Baby you're my saving grace Girl you've got an outlaw, ready to lay down all my guns A dirty old hound dog, learnin' new tricks like cuddlin' up, You've got a hellcat purrin' like a kitten, You've got a sinner down on his knees It had to be hell on an angel Lovin' the devil? out of me Tell me how did you get under this leather skin I wear Beneath the callouses and tattoos around the walls I built down there To this heart I've long kept guarded, all alone I was free to fly
But it takes an angel to fly with a free bird Baby we've got the sky Girl you've got an outlaw, ready to lay down all my guns A dirty old hound dog, learnin' new tricks like cuddlin' up, You've got a hellcat purrin' like a kitten, You've got a sinner down on his knees It had to be hell on an angel Lovin' the devil? out of me Hell on an angel Come on boys [Guitar solo] Girl you've got an outlaw, ready to lay down all my guns A dirty old hound dog, learnin' new tricks like cuddlin' up, You've got a hellcat purrin' like a kitten, You've got a sinner down on his knees It had to be hell on an angel Lovin' the devil? out of me
