[Verse 1] He pulled up in a flat black Ford With a grin like a busted jaw Said, "Boy, you been livin' large Now I came to collect it all" Had a ledger in a leather case And a ring that flashed like sin Said, "Every lie you sold last year Got a price tag pinned on in" [Pre-Chorus] I said, "Mister, I ain't got much" He tipped his hat and smiled "That don't change the tune, son You been dance one crooked mile" [Chorus] Devil's debt collector Knockin' at my door Devil's debt collector Ain't seen him comin' before He wants the tears, the tax, the time (Devil's debt collector) I paid in lies, now I'm payin' in mine [Verse 2] He took my watch, my wedding ring Left the Bible on the dash Said, "Faith don't cover interest When the bill comes back in cash" He found a note in my coat pocket From the girl I used to love He just laughed and said, "That kind of hurt Don't heal, it only glows up" [Pre-Chorus] I said, "Mister, cut me loose" He said, "I ain't that kind" "You signed your name in smoke and pride Now I'm here to read the fine" [Chorus] Devil's debt collector Knockin' at my door Devil's debt collector Ain't seen him comin' before He wants the tears, the tax, the time (Devil's debt collector) I paid in lies, now I'm payin' in mine [Bridge] Well, I sank down in the red clay mud With my boots half-buried deep Said, "If I owe you everything Why you still let me breathe?" He leaned in close and tapped my chest Said, "That answer's up to you" Then he turned that Ford around And let that cold wind through [Final Chorus] Devil's debt collector Knockin' at my door Devil's debt collector I ain't askin' him for more He wants the tears, the tax, the time (Devil's debt collector) I paid in lies, now I'm payin' in mine (Devil's debt collector) (Devil's debt collector)
