[Verse]
Boots scuffed, dust trails, ghosts on the rise
Whiskey breath, cold sweat, fire in my eyes
The devil’s shadow stretches long, eats the light
I lace my sins up tight, pray for speed tonight
[Chorus]
Out run the devil, heels to the flame
Smoke in the rearview, ain’t playin’ his game
Heart beats faster, thunder in my chest
Out run the devil, leave him second best
[Verse 2]
Backroads twist, sharp as a liar’s tongue
Hunger in the headlights, stars come undone
Every mile’s a gamble, dice in the dark
But I roll with the reaper, leave my mark
[Prechorus]
Hands on the wheel, gripping my past
Ain’t no salvation, just make it last
[Chorus]
Out run the devil, heels to the flame
Smoke in the rearview, ain’t playin’ his game
Heart beats faster, thunder in my chest
Out run the devil, leave him second best
[Bridge]
Crows on the fencepost, singing his hymn
Shadows get longer, chances grow slim
But the sun still rises, burns the black away
I’ll race the horizon till my dying day
