Cut Heads With the Devil

I’d cut heads with the Devil if it was for a good cause.
But I bet he’d pick a mean guitar, with all that soul under his claws.
And I bet he’d pull out all the stops when push came down to shove.
I’d cut heads with the Devil if it was all for love.

I’d play games with the Devil. If Buddha is dealing the cards
And Jesus is watching on surveillance and all the other Gods were standing guard.
Because we both have an Ace up our sleeve and a mean looking poker stare.
Yeah I’d play cards with the Devil if we kept the cheating fair.

Yeah I’d shoot dice with the Devil, in the alley so dark and hot.
Where his barrels burn old souls for sins even he forgot.
Me, I’ve been here before and I’ve held those red-hot dice.
Yeah, I’ve rolled dice with the Devil. I’m not afraid of his snake eyes.

I’ve matched wits with the Devil ever since I was a pup.
I know I haven’t seen every trick that old Devil can make up.
And I’ll be damned if he won’t try me at least one more time, I bet.
He might outsmart me one day, but he ain’t done it yet.

I’d cut heads with the Devil if it was for a good cause.
But I bet he’d pick a mean guitar, with all that soul under his claws.
And I bet he’d pull out all the stops when push came down to shove.
I’d cut heads with the Devil if it was all for love.
