HINGES OF HELL

HINGES OF HELL
2 wheels or four legs, he can ride it
If it’s offered out there somewhere
Bet he’s tried it
If he finds himself in love
He tries to hide it
So no one can ever tell
Raised up in the church but ain’t religious
Fearless to a fault but superstitious
And I’m convinced he lives with the intention
To blow the hinges off of hell
And when the winds announce the trumpet sounding
And everything is over but the shouting
He’s as much a part of this land as the mountains
So it’s probably just as well
If he don’t make it up to heaven
I know he’ll blow the hinges off of hell
Quick to defend his kin or a woman’s honor
Drinks his beer but don’t mind something stronger
Keeps running right on down to his last dollar
Then back to work he goes
Greets ya with a grin and “did you miss me?”
Hates being far from home here in this city
He’ll saddle up and take off like a Gypsy
And let the black smoke roll
