Bootlegger’s Dance

Bootlegger’s dance
Bootlegger’s dance
Buy the band a shot and do the bootlegger’s dance

Hungry for redemption with a life I left behind
I figured there would never be a better place in time
Called upon the devil
Signed away my will
If he would teach me how to make whiskey in a still

He made a sweet concoctionFire in a glass
Simply only smelling it will put you in your ass
Burns away your belly
Burns away your soul
And I can keep on brewing it until the laws are whole

I sold it to the senators
Sold it to the whores
Dealing the Devils Dew through a speakeasy door
fall on your knees and beg for another chance
Then you’ll be doing that bootlegger’s dance

Bootlegger’s dance
Bootlegger’s dance
Buy the band a shot and do the bootlegger’s dance

By the time the Devil’s Dew hit every mouth in town
The sheriff, he caught wind of it and brought the hounds around
And when the law was stricken, I was making deals
Now the devil and the sheriff are nipping at my heels

Breakdown!
The law is something that you can easily outrun
But whatcha gonna do when the evil comes?

I was drunken driving, driving through the hills
I had too much whiskey to be behind the wheel
Wrecked my truck and lay dying in the road
Saw the devil in the sheriff’s hat
Come to take my soul

Because I sold it to the senators
Sold it to the whores
Dealing the Devil’s Dew through a speakeasy door
fall on your knees and beg for another chance
Then you’ll be doing that bootlegger’s dance

Bootlegger’s dance
Bootlegger’s dance
Buy the band a shot and do the bootlegger’s dance
