[Verse 1]
Bobby said, "Let's play some cards
"I got a truck out in the yard
"That I came across – it was a steal
"Lay a couple paychecks down
"Drink a few and play a couple rounds
"And throw the dice and laugh over somebody’s meal"

[Verse 2]
Would anyone ever believe
Sleight of hand and a long sleeve
Could turn old friends into new enemies?
In the fog of all the blame
The Devil straightened a bad shot's aim
Now Bobby and his six-shooter went all-in for the deal

[Chorus]
I gotta give to ya, Satan
You weren't lying
When you said "I’m the best liar
"And the fastest one of them all"
Well, now this f‌ire burns
Higher and higher
Hot coals burn cold
Compared to a soul
[Verse 3]
Jezebel lived care free
Fast cars and jewelry
Married right outta school to a young Marine
Then a new man moved to town
Spoke loud and threw his money around
And caught the eye of a soldier's wife in need

[Verse 4]
A hard fight and a prayer for peace
Turned a long time gone to an early release
And he came home to different kind of war
Greater love hath no man
Like a broken heart with a gun in his hand
And Jezebel don't life carefree no more

[Chorus]
I gotta give to ya, Satan
You weren't lying
When you said "I'm the best liar
"And the fastest one of them all"
Well, now this f‌ire burns
Higher and higher
Hot coals burn cold
Compared to a soul
[Chorus]
I gotta give to ya, Satan
You weren't lying
When you said "I'm the best liar
"And the fastest one of them all"
Well, now this f‌ire burns
Higher and higher
Hot coals burn cold
Hot coals burn cold
Compared to a soul
