Lucifer and the Fallen Angels Lyrics
[Verse]
I run over a squirrel in Arkansas
Before the blood wasn't even dry
When I see a few fallen angels
And Lucifer tryin' to hitch a ride
I pull over, they jump in
Lucifer says "how far's Mobile?"
I say I don't rightly know
I'm goin' to Nashville to get a publishin' deal
And the fallen angels just laugh
Call me Lucif? And listen, don't take this wrong
"Ain't nobody in this town gonna
Wanna publish your song"
"You're cool but you old
They don't care about that snake farm groove and grip"
"And you didn't make any money
Even when that ass Paul Thorn recorded it"
And the fallen angels just laugh
I said, "that's cold
Your worthy of your reputation for bein' evil"
"Ain't no need to sugar coat it"
He said, "unless you're in St. Patrick's Cathedral"
"Anyhow, how 'bout it
You drivin' us down to Mobile?"
"We'll pay for cash
Buy you a lottery ticket and a confession prayer wheel"
And the fallen angels just laugh
"Might as well" I said
"If you tell me about getting thrown outta heaven"
Luke said "Sure, first stop at a package store
Let's get a bottle of Seagrams Seven"
I pull into Nervous Charlie's - Fireworks
And All Night Liquor Store
Luke gets out pulls out a gun
Puts on a ski mask and walks through the door
And the fallen angels just laugh
Well, I hear a couple shots
Oh Luke comes runnin' back
He says, "Make like Ray Charles

And hit the road Jack!"
I pull out almost wrecking
But I make it to the highway somehow
Luke says, "How do you think that clerk likes
Take Your Sons To Work Day now?"
And the fallen angels just laugh
I'm persona non-grata now
Barrelin' down the highway
Luke takes a sip of Seagrams says
"Well as heaven that goes I aint much to say"
I started a small rebellion
Never thinking I'd end up hell bound
"Oh the story was
I got tired of god jacking me around"
And the fallen angels just laugh
Luke says, "I saw you on Jimmy Fallon
Singing Drunken Poet's Dream"
"So why go to Nashville
Knowing you never ever gonna be mainstream?"
"Go to somewhere like Texas
Where they dig roots and blues and country that's real"
"It's better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
That's why I'm going to Mobile"
And the fallen angels just laugh
And the fallen angels just laugh
And the fallen angels just laugh
