The Unrepentant (Live) - Steve Earle

In the middle of the night

In the middle of a lonely night

Stands alone in the pale moonlight

Screams out in defiance

He's got no one to turn to

You could talk till you turn blue

He'd just turn his back on you

Ain't no compromising

Cause he's totally untamed

No fear of the unnamed

But he'll take the blame

Cause someone's gotta do it

Someone's gotta

He's now out on the highway

He's got the key and the right of way

His tank is full and his toll's paid

Hellbound and determined

He run a dangerous payload

When he comes to the crossroads

Ah man it's all timed to explode

'Cause you do see the sky burnin'

Because he's totally untamed

No fear of the unnamed

Hey man he'll take the blame

Someone's gotta do it someone's gotta

Now he's standin' at hell's door

With a bad attitude and a forty-four

The Devil said What's up man

Now what you come here for

He said let's just get down to it

He said

I always heard that you were the bad one

There's a few places I ain't been

A few things I ain't done

You got your pitchfork and I got my gun

Someone's gotta do it

Hey gotta do it

Cause he's totally untamed

No fear of the unnamed

Stand black of man he'll take the whole blame

Cause someone's gotta do it

Somone's gotta

Somone's gotta

Cause he's totally untamed
