[Verse]
The devil stumbled into the bar near dawn
Whiskey breath thick and his eyes all wrong
He slurred me a tale 'bout deals he'd spun
Even drunk he swore he always won
[Verse 2]
He leaned on me with a crooked grin
Said let's make a wager see who will win
His voice like thunder his words cut deep
I should’ve walked away or never let him speak
[Chorus]
Drunk or sober he's slick as a snake
Deals made of fire mistakes I’d make
You’d swear you'd win with a heart full of fight
But he’s laughing last in the cold
Dark night
[Verse 3]
He tossed the cards his hands ablaze
Eyes like embers set me in a haze
I thought his drink had dulled him down
But I’d soon wear the devil's filthy crown
[Bridge]
I pushed my luck bet my soul for gold
But his tricks were sharp his story old
The bottle swayed but he kept his pace
The devil don’t lose not in any case
[Verse 4]
He downed his glass said son now you're mine
A bad deal inked with fire and time
I asked how you win so drunk so fell
He grinned and whispered this is hell
