[Chorus]
If you were to let the devil in
And lead him to the bed that I lay in
And I were to walk in by happenstance
And that sorry man asked for forgiveness
I'd just reach down to my hip and I'd empty out my clip
[Verse 1]

And I try like hell to do the best I can
But there's a red line that turns me to a different man
So don't you try to cross it
'Cause you'll find out just what the cost is
[Chorus]
If you were to let the devil in
And lead him to the bed that I lay in
And I were to walk in by happenstance
And that sorry man asked for forgiveness
I'd just reach down to my hip and I'd empty out my clip

Means that you never see my face 'til it's tucked behind a pistol grip
Aw yeah, aw nah
I don't wanna hurt no one
Aw yeah, aw nah
If he pulls a knife, then I pull the gun
[Chorus]
If you were to let the devil in
And lead him to the bed that I lay in
And I were to walk in by happenstance
And that sorry man asked for forgiveness
I'd just reach down to my hip and I'd empty out my

'Ol Smith & Wesson, teach that 'ol sumbitch a lesson
He gon' feel it in his chest when I let it fly
Oh, I ain't got no premonition that you're someone else's missus
No, I don't do a lot of sinning, but I might, oh, I might, oh, I might
[Chorus]
'Cause if you were to let the devil in, mm
And lead him to the bed that I lay in, oh
And I were to walk in by happenstance
And that sorry man asked for forgiveness
I'd just reach down to my hip and I'd empty out my clip
