[Verse 1]
Black dust blowing through a dead coal town,
Moon hanging low while the sun went down,
Boots hit dirt with a silver gun,
Another damned soul on the run.
Devil lit a smoke with a crooked grin,
Said “boy, bring the lost ones back again,”
“Cheaters, killers, thieves and drunks,
Drag ‘em to my table one by one.”
So I ride through hell with a chain and flame,
Every outlaw whispering my name,
Preacher says I sold what’s left of my soul,
But the devil pays good for the wicked I haul.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Every road leads straight to sin…
And I’m the thing that’s bringing ‘em in…
⸻
[Chorus — BIG / HOOKY]
I’M THE DEVIL’S HUNTER — RIDING THROUGH THE NIGHT!
DRAGGING LOST SOULS BACK DEAD OR ALIVE!
ONE MORE SINNER FOR THE FLAMES BELOW —
ONE MORE GAMBLER WITH NOWHERE TO GO!
THE DEVIL DEALS — AND I COLLECT!
EVERY CORRUPT SOUL THAT’S LEFT!
WHEN THE FULL MOON HITS THAT SKY —
YOU BETTER RUN OR YOU’RE GONNA DIE!
⸻
[Verse 2]
Found one hiding in a church house pew,
Hands shook hard when he saw my boots,
Cross on the wall and tears in his eyes,
Said “please don’t take me tonight.”
I told him “man I ain’t the judge,”
“But your debt came due and your luck ran up,”
Thunder cracked while the candles swayed,
Dragged him screaming through the rain.
Now the townfolk lock every door at dark,
Kids hear my horse in the graveyard fog,
Bartenders whisper when I walk in slow,
Cause everybody got secrets they don’t wanna show.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every sinner tries to hide…
But hell always collects its prize…
⸻
[Chorus — BIGGER]
I’M THE DEVIL’S HUNTER — STEEL AND BONE!
AIN’T NO PEACE FOR THE DAMNED I HUNT!
ONE MORE DEAL AND THE NIGHT GETS COLD —
ONE MORE STORY NEVER TOLD!
⸻
[Bridge — stripped / haunting]
(soft)
Sometimes I wonder if I’m already dead…
(guitars crash in)
OR JUST THE DEVIL’S DOG OFF THE LEASH AGAIN!
⸻
[Final Chorus — MAX ENERGY]
I’M THE DEVIL’S HUNTER — LAST ONE LEFT!
RIDING THROUGH THE SMOKE OF DEATH!
EVERY CORRUPT SOUL I FIND —
JUST REMINDS ME I’M LOSING MINE!
