Artist/Band: Steve Earle
Lyrics for Song: The Unrepentant
Lyrics for Album: Just An American Boy [2003]



In the middle of the night

In the middle of a lonely night

Stands alone in the pale moonlight

Screams out in defiance

He's got no one to turn to

You could talk 'til you turn blue

He'd just turn his back on you

Ain't no compromising

'Cause he's totally untamed

No fear of the unnamed

But he'll take the blame

'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'



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
