Brantley Gilbert – Hell On An Angel lyrics
[Verse 1]
They say I was baptized in dirty water
By the hands of the devil himself
Between the banks of a whiskey river
Beside the highway to hell
I got scars on my heart and knuckles
I got debts that I ain't pay
Yeah but I got a blessing that was sent down from heaven
Baby you're my saving grace
[Chorus]
Girl you've got an outlaw, ready to lay down all my guns
A dirty old hound dog, learning new tricks like cuddling up
You've got a hellcat purring like a kitten
You've got a sinner down on his knees
It had to be hell on an angel
Loving the Devil out of me
[Verse 2]
Tell me how did you get under this leather skin I wear
Beneath the callouses and tattoos around the walls I built down there
To this heart I've long kept guarded, all alone I was free to fly
But it takes an angel to fly with a free bird
Baby we've got the sky
[Chorus]
Girl you've got an outlaw, ready to lay down all my guns
A dirty old hound dog, learning new tricks like cuddling up
You've got a hellcat purring like a kitten
You've got a sinner down on his knees
It had to be hell on an angel
Loving the Devil out of me
[Bridge]
Hell on an angel
Come on boys
[Chorus]
Girl you've got an outlaw, ready to lay down all my guns
A dirty old hound dog, learning new tricks like cuddling up
You've got a hellcat purring like a kitten
You've got a sinner down on his knees
It had to be hell on an angel
Loving the Devil out of me
They say I was baptized in dirty water
By the hands of the devil himself
Between the banks of a whiskey river
Beside the highway to hell
I got scars on my heart and knuckles
I got debts that I ain't pay
Yeah but I got a blessing that was sent down from heaven
Baby you're my saving grace
[Chorus]
Girl you've got an outlaw, ready to lay down all my guns
A dirty old hound dog, learning new tricks like cuddling up
You've got a hellcat purring like a kitten
You've got a sinner down on his knees
It had to be hell on an angel
Loving the Devil out of me
[Verse 2]
Tell me how did you get under this leather skin I wear
Beneath the callouses and tattoos around the walls I built down there
To this heart I've long kept guarded, all alone I was free to fly
But it takes an angel to fly with a free bird
Baby we've got the sky
[Chorus]
Girl you've got an outlaw, ready to lay down all my guns
A dirty old hound dog, learning new tricks like cuddling up
You've got a hellcat purring like a kitten
You've got a sinner down on his knees
It had to be hell on an angel
Loving the Devil out of me
[Bridge]
Hell on an angel
Come on boys
[Chorus]
Girl you've got an outlaw, ready to lay down all my guns
A dirty old hound dog, learning new tricks like cuddling up
You've got a hellcat purring like a kitten
You've got a sinner down on his knees
It had to be hell on an angel
Loving the Devil out of me
