Ride Like the Devil's Son Lyrics

Dust storm whispered in my ear your turn to take the bullseye
While the fulsome praise of jack straw crows came knocking at my door
After twenty years I hung my spurs on the perch of telephone wires
They uses to drag in Cuban heels with true north in their compass

Wandering in circles
With nothing left to lose
Carved in a mountain
Where a pale horse writes
The bible is truth

CAN YOU READ MY PALMS
CAN YOU READ MY HEART
CAN YOU READ MY LIPS
CAN YOU READ MY THOUGHTS
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
AND I RIDE LIKE THE DEVIL'S SON

With Vultures flying over head
And pecking at my carcass
They cauterize those highway lanes
That lead us out of darkness

Wandering in circles
With nothing left to lose
Carved in a mountain
Where a pale horse writes
The bible is truth

CAN YOU READ MY PALMS
CAN YOU READ MY HEART
CAN YOU READ MY LIPS
CAN YOU READ MY THOUGHTS
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
AND I RIDE LIKE THE DEVIL'S SON

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
