He grew up in a small town, bought his own house down before he hit the age of eight
His mother took flight and left him behind and then there was hell to pay
They said he had a friend that followed where he went and covered his tracks
But then his friend took his bike and wrecked it one night and he was never seen again
[C] Some say, what we gonna do?
The devil had a baby and he's coming for you
Some say, he can be [G] saved, they got together and they dealt a [C] great
Half the town cried mercy, half the town cried justice
And nobody got [G] their _ way

His time to go was on the low road, he left a trail of pain
He swindled the good in each neighborhood and ran with no trace of shame
Romancing robber, fraudulent father, he had a hundred names
But the word of mouth across the whole South, he was the one to blame
[C] Some say, what we gonna do?
The devil had a baby and he's coming for you
Some say, he can be [G] saved, they got together and they dealt a great
[C] Half the town cried mercy, half the town cried justice
And nobody got [G] their way _ _

_ _ _ _ [G] One _ _ stormy night they caught him hiding, so the story goes
As the townspeople argued, he was struck by a lightning bolt
[C] Some say, let's celebrate, he's gone to hell and we're finally safe
Some say, God is great, [G] they got together for his soul
[C] Half the town cried mercy, half the town cried justice
It is what it is, [G] he's away _ _
