A      G             D
In the middle of the night

       G            A
In the middle of a lonely night

G                   D
Stands alone in the pale moonlight

G                       A
Screams out in defiance

G           D                G
He's got no one to turn to

          A
You could talk ?til you turn blue

G                  D
He'd just turn his back on you

      G          A
Ain't no compromising
[Chorus]
A G  D
Cause he's totally untamed

G   A
No fear of the unnamed

G         D
But he'll take the blame

      G                       A
Cause someone's gotta do it

                   A
He's got the key and the right of way

G                   D
His tank is full and his toll's paid

   G             A
Hellbound and determined

G           D
He run a dangerous payload

G          A
When he comes to the crossroads

G                  D
Ah, man it's all times to explode

       G         A
You'll just see the sky burnin'
[Chorus]

       G              D
Now he's standin' at hell's door

       G            A
With a bad attitude and a forty-four

The devil said, "What's up man

         D
Now what you come here for?"

          G                   A
He said, "Man, let's just get to it"

          G                                    D
He said, "I always heard that you were the bad one

          G                         A
There's a few places I ain't been, a few things I ain't done

                G                      D
You got your pitchfork and I got my gun"

               A
Someone's gotta do it
[Chorus]
