Like a runaway train barrelin' down the line I'm goin' to beat the devil To see my angel tonight Get out of my way There's a little piece of heaven down a snaky Louisiana road Sweeter than a taste of homemade wine and hotter Than Tobasco Skeeter filled swampland, shaky bridge quicksand Runnin' over potholes fast as I can One left headlight leadin' me to paradise I'm goin' to beat the devil To see my angel tonight Say, I'm goin' to beat the devil To see my angel tonight Yeah, I'm goin' to beat the devil To see my angel tonight Ahh yeah, almost there
