Loretta Lynn
The Devil Gets His Due
[Verse 1]
Well, you think you're the hottest thing a-goin'
The way things come to you, you think you're in
But one of these days, that wind's gonna start blowin'
You may not lose, but big boy, you won't win

[Chorus]
'Cause the devil gets his dues and you'll start payin'
When he collects, you know you've paid your debt
The devil gets his dues, like I been sayin'
You hurt just like you've hurt me, you can bet

[Verse 2]
When it comes to love, you've read the devil's menu
And you brag lot that you just can't be hurt
You're not the only one who knows a trick or two
Someday I might rub your face in the dirt

[Verse 3]
Well, your little playhouse is sittin' on sticks of dynamite
When I get mad, tonight I'd light the fuse
If you come in and find out that my dog bites
You'll know the devil's here collectin' dues

[Chorus]
'Cause the devil gets his dues and you'll start payin'
When he collects, you know you've paid your debt
The devil gets his dues like I been sayin'
You hurt just like you've hurt me, you can bet
