Bobby said “Let's play some cards
I gotta’ truck out in the yard that
I came across it was a steal

Lay a couple paychecks down
Drink a few and play a couple rounds
And throw the dice and laugh over somebody's meal"

Would anyone ever believe
Sleight of hand and a long sleeve
Could turn old friends into new enemies

In the fog of all the blame
The Devil straightened a bad shot’s aim
Now Bobby and his 6 shooter went all in for the deal

I gotta’ give it to ya Satan
You weren't lyin’ when you said
"I'm the best liar
And the fastest one of them all"
Well now this fire burns
Higher and higher
Hot coals burn cold
Compared to a soul

Jezebel lived carefree
Fast cars and jewelry
Married right outta school to a young Marine

Then a new man moved to town
Spoke loud and threw his money around
Caught the eye of a soldier’s wife in need

A hard fight and a prayer for peace turned a
Long time gone to an early release and he came home to different kind of war
Greater love hath no man like a broken heart with a gun in his hand
And Jezebel don’t live carefree no more

I gotta’ give it to ya Satan
You weren't lyin’ when you said
"I'm the best liar
And the fastest one of them all"
Well now this fire burns
Higher and higher
Hot coals burn cold
Compared to a soul

I gotta’ give it to ya Satan
You weren't lyin’ when you said
"I'm the best liar
And the fastest one of them all"
Well now this fire burns
Higher and higher
Hot coals burn cold
Compared to a soul
