I was born in unfortunate son
Hit the ground I was on the run
I don’t talk about the hell I come from
'Cause them dark days are gone

I’ve got a bag full of black cat bones
Burn the house down to the stone
'Cause the next time I crawl home I’ll be dead and gone

I’m driving, through the deep dark south
Good lord can’t get me out
This old world is dragging me down
Shaking off the evil
Shaking off the evil now

I’ve been running for too damn long
Through the rain and through the storm
Wheels spinning from dusk tell dawn
I’ll be dead and gone

Had this world open my eyes
There’s evil in the baptize
If holy water could save the despised
I’d be born again

I’m driving, through the deep dark south
Good lord can’t get me out
This old world is dragging me down
Shaking off the evil
Shaking off the evil now

I’m driving, through the deep dark south
Good lord can’t get me out
This old world is dragging me down
Shaking off the evil
Shaking off the evil now
