In Hell we're told the Devil's chained, never did he groan
A thousand years he there remained but sought a hell his own
Torment he would the souls of men, he asked the Lord a hand
Being chained in a prison pen, what's left upon this land

He lengthened the horns of the Texas steers
Put an addition to the rabbit's ears
Put a little devil in the Bronco steed
Poisoned the feet of the centipede
Oh, Hell in Texas

The Devil went to take a look, see what he had sewn
Damned the seeds and cursed the soil, made the great unknown
A trade was made and he returned, shook his golden hand
The Devil flew his way down south to the Rio Grande

Thorns he put on all the trees
Mixed the sand with all the fleas
Tarantula on the road
Thorns on cactus, horns on toads
Oh, Hell in Texas

Where UFO's and vultures fly, specters in the night
Images the Devil sent to trick a lonely mind
It's the land that I call home, born in Dallas way
From the East she did rise mother's youngest son

Rattlesnake bites and the scorpion stings
Takes delight with his buzzing wings
Sand and flies will find a way
To follow you throughout the day
Oh, Hell in Texas
Oh, Hell in Texas
