Everybody's got a madman in him

Mama said keep my head down Keep my boots clean Smile at the banker Act like a church scene But there's a grin in the mirror When the moon gets mean And I hear that old dog Howlin' through me I can hold it together I can keep it polite Till a hard rain hits And it wakes that side Everybody's got a madman in him (yeah, a madman in him) Try to lock it up He kicks that hinge in Everybody's got a madman in him And mine comes out When the whiskey's kicking He don't wear a black hat He don't need a knife He's the part of me laughing At the edge of my life Tells me drive that old truck Through the county line Just to see if the devil Knows my name tonight I can hold it together I can keep it polite Till a hard rain hits And it wakes that side Everybody's got a madman in him (yeah, a madman in him) Try to lock it up He kicks that hinge in Everybody's got a madman in him And mine comes out When the whiskey's kicking He's the heat in my hands He's the smoke in my sigh He's the nerve in the dark When the good part dies I don't love that trouble But I know his grin Yeah, everybody's got A madman in him Everybody's got a madman in him (yeah, a madman in him) Try to lock it up He kicks that hinge in Everybody's got a madman in him And mine comes out When the whiskey's kicking
