Verse 1
in Arkansas
Before the blood wasn't even dry,
When I see a few fallen angels
And Lucifer tryin' to hitch a ride
I pull over, they jump in,
Lucifer says "how far's Mobile?"
I say I don't rightly know,
I'm goin' to Nashville to
get a publishin' deal.
Verse 2
Verse 3
don't take this wrong.
"Ain't nobody in this town gonna
Wanna publish your song."
"You're cool but you old,
They don't care about that snake
farm groove and grip."
"And you didn't make any money
Even when that ass Paul
Thorn recorded it."
Verse 4
Verse 5
Your worthy of your reputation
for bein' evil."
"Ain't no need to sugar coat it"
He said, "unless you're in St.
Patrick's Cathedral."
"Anyhow, how 'bout it,
You drivin' us down to Mobile?"
"We'll pay for cash,
Buy you a lottery ticket and a
confession prayer wheel."
Verse 6
Verse 7
"If you tell me about getting
thrown outta heaven"
Luke said "Sure,
first stop at a package store,
Let's get a bottle of Seagrams Seven."
I pull into Nervous Charlie's - Fireworks
And All Night Liquor Store.
Luke gets out pulls out a gun,
Puts on a ski mask and walks
through the door.
Verse 8
Verse 9
Oh Luke comes runnin' back.
He says, "Make like Ray Charles
And hit the road Jack!"
I pull out almost wrecking,
But I make it to the highway somehow.
Luke says, "How do you
think that clerk likes
Take Your Sons To Work Day now?"
Verse 10
Verse 11
Barrelin' down the highway.
Luke takes a sip of Seagrams says
"Well as heaven that goes
I aint much to say."
I started a small rebellion
Never thinking I'd end up hell bound.
"Oh the story was
I got tired of god jacking me around"
Verse 12
Verse 13
Singing Drunken Poet's Dream"
"So why go to Nashville
Knowing you never ever gonna
be mainstream?"
"Go to somewhere like Texas
Where they dig roots and blues
and country that's real. "
"It's better to reign in Hell
than serve in Heaven,
That's why I'm going to Mobile."
Verse 14
And the fallen angels just laugh.
And the fallen angels just laugh.
How did you like the song?
