  			Intro 
 
A G D A 
 
       G              D 
In the middle of the night 
                   A 
In the middle of a lonely night 
G                   D 
Stands alone in the pale moonlight 
                       A      
Screams out in defiance 
G           D        
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 
                A 
Ain't no compromising 

            A G  D 
?Cause he's      totally untamed 
   A                
No fear of the unnamed 
G         D 
But he'll take the blame 
                             A 
?Cause someone's gotta do it 
 
 
 
Now he's out on the highway 
He's got the key and the right of way 
His tank is full and his toll's paid 
Hellbound and determined 
He run a dangerous payload 
When he comes to the crossroads 
Ah, man it's all times to explode 
You'll just see the sky burnin' 
 
(Play Chorus) 
 
 
Now he's standin' at hell's door 
With a bad attitude and a forty-four 
The devil said, "What's up man 
Now what you come here for?" 
He said, "Man, let's just get to it" 
He said, "I always heard that you were the bad one 
There's a few places I ain't been, a few things I ain't done 
You got your pitchfork and I got my gun" 
Someone's gotta do it 
 
 
(Play Chorus twice)
