When I Leave This House

Just like Cain and Able

I let the devil come 'round

Now I'm the king of the garden

With a snake for a crown

When the lord points his finger

Baby, I'm goin' down



Well, I'm no hell's angel

But I like to pretend I'm the king of the highway

On the prairie wind with a black leather soul

I'm gonna ride to the bitter end, here we go



When I leave this house

I ain't coming back

When I leave this house

I ain't coming back



Tie my sins to a railroad track

Carve my initials with chicken scratch

The garden of Eden hasn't broken my back

When I leave this house I ain't coming back



Well, hey now mama

Don't let your love dry up

I'm a hungry child with an empty cup

You can't feed your babies

When you're all shook up, yeah



When I leave this house

I ain't coming back

When I leave this house

I ain't coming back



Tie my sins to a railroad track

Carve my initials with chicken scratch

The garden of Eden hasn't broken my back

When I leave this house I ain't coming back



Well, I'm no hell's angel

But I like to pretend I'm the king of the highway

On the prairie wind with a black leather soul

I'm gonna ride to the bitter end



When I leave this house

I ain't coming back

When I leave this house

I ain't coming back



Tie my sins to a railroad track

Carve my initials with chicken scratch

The garden of Eden hasn't broken my back

When I leave this house I ain't coming back



When I leave this house

I ain't coming back

When I leave this house

I ain't coming back



Tie my sins to a railroad track

Carve my initials with chicken scratch

The garden of Eden hasn't broken my back

When I leave this house I ain't coming back
