The Devil Gets His Due

Well, you think you're the hardest thing a goin' The way things come to you you think you're in But one of these days that wind's a gonna start blowin' You may not lose the big boy you won't win. 'Cause the devil gets his dues and you'll start payin' When he collects you know you'll pay your debt The devil gets his dues like I been sayin' You hurt just like you've hurt me you can bet. --- Instrumental --- When it comes to love you wear the devil's menu And you brag a lot that you just can't be hurt You're not the only one who knows the trick or two Some day I might rub your face in the dirt. Well, your little play house is sittin' on sticks of dynamite And I get mad tonight and light the fuze If you come in and find out that my dog bites You'll know the devil's here collectin' dues. Cause the devil gets his dues and you'll start payin' When he collects you know you'll pay your debt The devil gets his dues like I been sayin' You hurt just like you've hurt me you can bet... --- The Devil Gets His Due - Loretta Lynn
