From the recording V
Lyrics
Dance With The Devil
Town folk often whisper ‘bout their wayward son
Who lives in the hollow off of Old 21
He stills the best shine and plants the choicest tree.
And if you need somebody “missing”, he’s the man to see.
(Chorus)
Good never grows from a bad seed
If you dance with the devil, you might as well lead
All God’s children got their darker side
Secrets that they’re keeping and the sins they hide.
They meet the man in darkness for the things they need.
Some call him the devil, he’s just “Jake” to me
(Chorus)
Good never grows from a bad seed
If you dance with the devil, you might as well lead
(Bridge)
Preachers and the teachers got everybody fooled
Judges and the lawyers busy breaking their own rules
Saints and sinners pay good money for their sins
They step right up to play the game the devil always wins
