The Unrepentant Lyrics

Steve Earle

[Verse 1]
In the middle of the night
In the middle of lonely night
Stands alone in the pale moonlight
Screams out in defiance
He's got no one to turn to
You could talk until you turn blue
He'd just turn his back on you
Ain't no compromising

[Chorus]
Because he's totally untamed
No fear of the unnamed
Oh man he'll take the blame
Someone's got to do it, someone's got to

[Verse 2]
He's now out on the highway
He's got the key and the right of way
His tank is full and his toll's paid
Hell-bound and determined
He run a dangerous payload
When he comes to the crossroads
Ah, man it's all timed to explode
Because you do see the sky burning

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Now he's standing at hell's door
With a bad attitude and a forty-four
The Devil said, "What's up man
Now what you come here for?"
He said, "Man, let's just get to it"
He said, "I always heard that you were the bad one
There's a few places I ain't been, a few things I ain't done
You got your pitchfork and I got my gun
Someone's gotta do it"

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
Someone's got to[x3]
Totally untamed
