[Verse 1]
Well, I been hangin' around at the crossroads hopin' to sell my soul
The devil, I'll tell you, has gone downhill since he quit that rock'n'roll
But I can't see another road for me so it's down the road I go
You won't be catchin' sight of me no more
And there was a girl that I picked up somewhere along the road
She said "come on now, and settle down, lay down your heavy load"
So I left that lady cryin' in the dust out on the highway
And I carried on along my merry way
And there are some times when late at night I think upon my sins
Sometimes I wish that I'd never went to those places that I've been
I know life's too fast for lookin' back and I'm in this thing to win
Raised the stakes and I'll fire it up again
[Chorus]
And you gotta choose your weapon
The one you choose, it doesn't really matter
Pick a direction and ride 'er to the end
Could be whiskey or poison
You won't know 'til the bottom of the gla**
Just knock it back and get on your feet again
[Verse 2]
And there was a time when I was well and fine with my pitchfork and my gun
It was this guitar that gave me all these scars and where this foul mouth came from
Now I will not hear of slowing down while I've still got legs to run
Out of town into that setting sun
[Chorus x 2]
You gotta knock it back and get on your feet again
Well I said knock it back and get on your feet again
