Hell in Texas (Jonah Swilley Remix)
[Verse 1]
In hell we're told the devil's chained
Never did he groan
Thousand years he there remained
But sought a hell his own
Torment he would the souls of men
He asked the lord a hand
Being chained in a prison pen
What’s left upon this land

[Pre-Chorus]
He lengthened the horns of the Texas steers
Put an addition to the rabbits hears
Put a little devil in the broncho steed
And poisoned the feet of the cеntipede

[Chorus]
Oh, hell in Tеxas

[Verse 2]
The devil went to take a look
See what he had sewn
He damned the seeds and cursed the soil
Made the great unknown
A trade was made and he returned
Shook his golden hand
The devil flew made his way down south
To the Rio Grande

[Pre-Chorus]
Thorns he put on all the trees
Mixed the sands with all the fleas
Tarantula along the roads
Thorns on cactus and horns on toads

[Chorus]
Oh, hell in Texas

[Verse 3]
Where UFOs and vultures fly
Specters in the night
Images the devil sent
To trick a lonely mind
It’s the land that I call home
Born in Dallas way
From the east she did rise
Mother's youngest son
[Pre-Chorus]
The rattlesnake bites and the scorpion stings
Takes delights with his buzzing wings
The sand and flies will find a way
To follow you throughout the day

[Chorus]
Oh, hell in Texas
Oh, hell in Texas
