Verse 1
C                        F 
Rather be a devil living life on a tear 
        G                C 
Than to be an angel at a church affair 
                          F 
Like electric song in the deep of the night 
G                                 C 
Burning down the house along with everything in sight 
 
        F 
I ain't angry or a nut 
        C 
Just to give you people some 
F                           G 
Quiet in the head, ain't no way to get it done 
 
Chorus
          F                     C 
If you're gonna raise a ruckus, one word of advice

If you're gonna do wrong, buddy, do wrong right

Verse 2
C                         F 
Riding 'round the land to all the little towns 
        G                       C 
Well my blood gets boiling when that racket buckles loud 
                       F 
Fire up the motors, we got all of us in 
G                                C 
Spread the red all over town and do it all again 
 
     F                         C 
Well most things that I know I didn't learn in class 
    F                        G 
The road don't go forever so ride it while it lasts
