DANCIN' WITH THE DEVIL

Ol' Rick he lived hard and fast,
tryin' hard to outrun his past, with-
No idea his luck would run out,
he hopped on his bike and he headed south.
The newspapers said he was a hell of a man,
who saddled up and rode off into the promised land.

When you cruise the open road at a hundred and three,
wide open like the life you lead,
Payin' no mind to the dangers that lie ahead.
A deer in the road or a patch of ice,
one false move might take your life,
and life's too short to dance with the devil.
And life's too doggone short when you're dancin' with the devil.

Sally Lynn went out every night,
her tears were dimmed by the neon lights, ‘n’ she was-
Always chasin' that “higher high”,
she could outdrink nearly every guy.
They found her in her home lyin' on her bed,
with a bottle in her hand and a hole in her head.

So drink another drink smoke another smoke,
roll a joint and take another toke,
but keep in mind these things are a waste of life.
And if you wanna live to be all you can be,
the clock is ticking fast you better listen to me,
‘cause life’s to short to dance with the devil.
And life's too doggone short when you're dancin' with the devil.

Hey! Hey! The devil wants to dance 'till the clock runs out,
but livin' long and love is what it's all about,
and life's to short to dance with the devil,
and life's too doggone short when you're dancin' with the devil,
life's too doggone short, dancin' with the devil.
