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
