[verse 1] Kick a dog every day Watch him learn. That everyone is evil You’ll all just get burned. Climb up the ladder Just a little faster Watch’em knock it out Leave your life in tatters. [pre-chorus] So, honey, last night I met this man, and I'm gonna do a little favor for him [chorus] Keep Tempting fate evil at the gate. Wanted a life of peace But they made me A man of hate. simple life’ll just have to wait. know my blood is evil Running in my veins Till they put me in the grave I’ll just be Tempting fate. [verse 2] Pappy was a sinner, My daddy was too. Working on the rail Till their bodies failed. Walked into the darkness Went beyond the pale. I’ve always tried To be a good man Make a righteous stand But still paying for their sin. [pre-chorus] So, honey, last night I met this man, and I'm gonna do a little favor for him [chorus] Keep Tempting fate evil at the gate. Wanted a life of peace But they made me A man of hate. simple life’ll just have to wait. know my blood is evil Running in my veins Till they put me in the grave I’ll just be Tempting fate. [outlaw country guitar solo] [verse 3] When will you learn You never mattered. Just a small extra In their selfish game. Embrace the darkness That comes with your name Make them remember you With all these blood stains. [pre-chorus] So, honey, last night I met this man, and I'm gonna do a little favor for him [chorus] Keep Tempting fate evil at the gate. Wanted a life of peace But they made me A man of hate. simple life’ll just have to wait. know my blood is evil Running in my veins Till they put me in the grave I’ll just be Tempting fate. [conclusion, key change, screaming emotional vocals] It's always running in my veins I’ll just be Tempting fate.
