          Am                          D
There's a devil in these hollers, my Papaw told me so
     Am                              D
He's hidin' out, somewhere down off Barton Ferry Road
Am                                 D
Got that high speed chicken feed, crystal meth amphetamines
Am                                        D               A
Take's you high, then to your knees just like a hilltop church
Am                               D                  A
Shakin' up a bottle 'til you're shakin' when it's gone
            Am                          D               A
Then you're down at River City pawnin' everything you own
Am                       D                    A
Hopin' there's a copper hidin' around these hills
    Am                               D                   A
Too proud to beg or borrow, but you ain't too proud to steal

🎸 Chorus:
Am            D    A
Alkaline and Sudafed
Am        D        A
Paranoia in your head

           Am                   D             A
He grеw up broke, he knows his way around a kitchen
Am                  D            A
Smell on a road of ammonia and mischief
Am                           D              A
His hounds are howlin', the neighbors are bitchin'
Am                         D               A
Everyone knows that ain't dinner Micky's fixin'

Am                   D
I'll tell you boys, he'll cheat you right
Am                                 D          A
'Cause one night, I just went and took me a bite, yeah
Am                  D           A
And that apple fed my, my appetite
       Am              A
But it left me with a thirst, huh
