Beat the Devil

[Verse 1]

Hauling peanut butter crank through Arizona

Gotta keep the glowstick babies fat and happy

Cactus standing taller than Goliath

All the vultures come directly at me

[Verse 2]

We stash it in between some bales of lumber

On flatbeds coming in from Colorado

I don't know what you're doing back in Memphis

All winter you've been incommunicado

[Chorus]

Take a picture, do it fast

For the good times

For the good times

That won't last

[Verse 3]

Hot sun peels the paint down to the primer

Overheating engine spits and whines

Try to keep our minds on what we're doing

Try to keep the wheels between the lines

[Verse 4]

The feeling when the cop car flips its lights on

The near-electric tension crackling here inside the truck

The lack of any word from you in Memphis

The sounds of someone running out of luck

[Chorus]

Take a picture, do it fast

For the good times

For the good times

That won't last
