lyrics

I spent the best years of my life on the open road
In the honky tonks, honey i paid my toll
I cut my teeth on the demons Rock-n-Roll
And now the devil's come back to me to collect my soul

But if I'm going down
Hell I'm going down loud
I'm gonna burn down every joint in the USA
With a honky tonk crowd
I'm gonna play my guitar for you
loud as God's green Earth is big
I dug my grave so you don't have to dig

There's a line wrapped around the building outside our show
yeah they come from miles to dosado
Right behind the bar there's a hottie, she won't say no
I think the devil sent her here to me to collect my soul

But if I'm going down
Hell I'm going down loud
I'm gonna burn down every joint in the USA
With a honky tonk crowd
I'm gonna play my guitar for you
loud as God's green Earth is big
I dug my grave so you don't have to dig
