I've been down with a broken heart
|
since the day I learned to speak.
|
The devil gave me a crooked start
|
when he gave me crooked feet.
|
But Gabriel don came to me
|
and kissed me in my sleep,
|
and I'll be singing like and angel
|
until I'm six feet deep.
|
|
I found myself an omen and I tattoed on a sign
|
I set my mind to wandering and I walk a broken line.
|
You have a mind to keep me quiet
|
and although you can try,
|
better men have hit their knees
|
and bigger men have died.
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
I'm gonna raise, raise hell
|
There's a story no one tells
|
You gotta raise, raise hell
|
Go on and ring that bell
|
|
You came upon a lightning strike
|
and eyes of bright clear blue
|
I took a tie from around my neck
|
and gave my heart to you.
|
I sent my love accross the sea
|
and though I didn't cry
|
that voice will haunt my every dream
|
until the day I die.
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
I'm gonna raise, raise hell
|
There's a story no one tells
|
You gotta raise, raise hell
|
Go on and ring that bell
|
|
I dug a hole inside my heart
|
to put you in your grave.
|
At this point it was you and me,
|
and mama didn't raise no slave.
|
You took my face in both your hands
|
and looked me in the eye
|
and I went down with such a force
|
that in your grave I lay.
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
I'm gonna raise, raise hell
|
There's a story no one's telling
|
You gotta raise, raise hell
|
Go on and ring that bell
|
Go on and ring that bell
|
Go on and ring that bell
|
Go on and ring that bell
|
|

Raise Hell
