How about something by Steve Earle? "Copperhead Road" or "The Devil's Right Hand" both spring to mind, but there are others..."Ben McCulloch" for example...love the chorus of that song -
Goddamn you Ben McCulloch
I hate you more than any other man alive
And when you die you'll be a foot soldier just like me
In the devil's infantry
Maybe Bruce Springsteen as well? I'm not as up to date on his newer stuff, but there are acoustic versions of both "Born to Run" and "Born In The USA" out there, or there's "My City In Ruins".
Going back to the Stones, how about "Sympathy For The Devil"? It was covered by Guns n Roses, so you could always use their version. For that matter they covered "Live And Let Die" as well.
