lyrics
Gallow on my neck
the devil jumps out just to check
if a bargain i would make
and his money i would take.
But i am smarter as Lucifer
his bag i’ll carry - i know its real worth
so when he comes to take my hand
in his bag the Old Scratch will end.
Yes the devil knows my name
and the devil plays my game,
for what it’s worth i can tell i’m my own boss
I nailed the devil on a cross.
Some grow up, some grow old,
some act proud, some act cold.
Me & myself after tricking the death
lived a long life with no regrets.
‘cause the devil knows my name
and the devil plays my game
and when my time has finally come
I will lay down but not for long.
Yes i am smarter than Lucifer himself,
I brought three nails and a hammer from my shelf
so when he jumps out in heaven i’ll be boss
‘cause i nailed the devil on a cross.
Yes the devil knows my name
and the devil plays my game,
for what it’s worth i can tell i’m my own boss,
i nailed the devil on a cross.
the devil jumps out just to check
if a bargain i would make
and his money i would take.
But i am smarter as Lucifer
his bag i’ll carry - i know its real worth
so when he comes to take my hand
in his bag the Old Scratch will end.
Yes the devil knows my name
and the devil plays my game,
for what it’s worth i can tell i’m my own boss
I nailed the devil on a cross.
Some grow up, some grow old,
some act proud, some act cold.
Me & myself after tricking the death
lived a long life with no regrets.
‘cause the devil knows my name
and the devil plays my game
and when my time has finally come
I will lay down but not for long.
Yes i am smarter than Lucifer himself,
I brought three nails and a hammer from my shelf
so when he jumps out in heaven i’ll be boss
‘cause i nailed the devil on a cross.
Yes the devil knows my name
and the devil plays my game,
for what it’s worth i can tell i’m my own boss,
i nailed the devil on a cross.
