[Verse 1]
The devil and me had a falling out
Violation of contract beyond a shadow of a doubt
Wherever he go, whomever he meet
He got to cross my house on the other side of the street
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you know that’s the truth
Now here’s the part that the devil sings when he's hanging his head in a hard rain:
[Chorus 1]
Where I'm headed, I don't know
Down this path, we all go
Grace and luck, blood from stone
Got nowhere to call my home
[Pre-Chorus 2]
What comes around goes around threefold or more
And you can’t get off of that killing floor
[Chorus 2]
I’m going back to Tennessee
Back where I come from, I come from
Gonna head back to Beale Street
Beale Street and Oblivion, Oblivion
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
The devil and me, bad blood and beef
An undisciplined child, a liar and a thief
It’s a low down shame, we were the best of friends
But I suppose all good things got to come to an end
[Pre-Chorus 2]
What comes around goes around threefold or more
And you can’t get off of that killing floor
[Chorus 2]
I’m going back to Tennessee
Back where I come from, I come from
Gonna head back to Beale Street
Beale Street and Oblivion, Oblivion
I’m going back to Tennessee
Back where I come from, that's right, son
Gonna head back to Beale Street
Beale Street and Oblivion, Oblivion
[Outro]
Got to get off of that killing floor
Get off of that killing floor, now
Get off of that killing floor
That killing floor
