They said I was baptized in dirty water By the hands of the devil himself Between the banks of a Whiskey River Beside the Highway to Hell I got scars on my heart and knuckles I got debts that I can't pay Yeah but I got a blessing sent down from heaven Baby you're my saving grace Girl you got an outlaw Ready to lay down all my guns A dirty old hound dog Learning new tricks like cuddlin up You've got a hellcat purrin like a kitten You've got a sinner down on his knees It had to be hell on an angel Lovin the devil outta me You'd tell me how did I get under This leather skin I wear Beneath the callouses and tattoos Around the walls I've built down there To this heart I've broke and guarded All alone out on the street flyin Yea it takes an angel to fly with a freebird Baby we've got the sky Chorus Hell on an angel, on an angel Chorus
