[Verse 1] I felt those cold metal rings around wrist when I was seventeen
Mama wondered where she went wrong when it came to raisin' me
I had a bottle and Bible, she said "There ain't no in-between"
 
[Chorus] Well I was hell on an angel, that liquor burned like gasoline
I had one foot in the fire the other steppin' on her wings
Well that temperature was risin' but I could not feel the heat
Well I was hell on an angel that loved the devil out of me
 
[Verse 2] Well she wanted her a bad boy with a heart as pure as gold
And I loved her to the end of the earth, but I sure loved gettin' stoned
It was an early graze with prison for a family and a home
 
[Chorus] That liquor burned like gasoline
I had one foot in the fire the other steppin' on her wing
Well that temperature was risin' but I could not feel the heat
Well I was hell on an angel that loved the devil out of me
 
[Chorus] Well I was hell on an angel, that liquor burned like gasoline
I had one foot in the fire the other steppin' on her wings
Well that temperature was risin' but I could not feel the heat
Well I was hell on an angel that loved the devil out of me
