Devil May Care Songtext
von Son Volt

Four on the floor with a halftime break
Eight bars, then a turnaround
Hit the high hat like a low hat
Open up a wall of sound

Heavy gauge and the nickel-wound sings
And the stellar magnetic rings
Chords for power and drag control found
All running when you hit the ground

And the devil may care
And the devil may care
When the devil makes his rounds
And the devil may care
And the devil may care
When the devil comes around

Clean with the dirty tube breakup-style
Class-A discrete awakening
Dynamic rhythm and high gain beliefs
Daily Mardi Gras is just beginning


No artifacts, just melody rings
Compression drivers pushing air
Phantom power and faders up
Keeping time, keeping sane

And the devil may care
And the devil may care
When the devil makes his rounds
And the devil may care
And the devil may care
When the devil comes around

Harmonic fidelity boost
High pass filter on a balanced line
Or a cigarette on a headstock
All the same, just make it rhyme

And the devil may care
And the devil may care
When the devil makes his rounds
And the devil may care
And the devil may care
When the devil comes around


And the devil may care
And the devil may care
When the devil makes his rounds
And the devil may care
And the devil may care
When the devil makes his rounds
