The Devil's Right Hand Lyrics - Ride Out - Bob Seger

About the time my Daddy left to fight the good war 

I saw my first pistol in the general store 

In the general store, when I was thirteen 

I thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen 

So l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up 

Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up 

She really blew up she didn't understand 

Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand 

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand 

Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt 

Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow 

Loads a mite slow and soon I found out 

It'll get you into trouble but it can't get you out 

About a year later got a Colt 45 

Called a peacemaker but I never knew why 

Never knew why, I didn't understand 

Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand 

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand 

Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand 

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand 

Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand

I get into a card game in a company town 

Caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down 

Shot the dog down, watched the man fall 

Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw 

The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed 

Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said 

Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man 

Nothing touched the pistol but the devil's right hand 

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand 

Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand 

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand 

Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand
