Dancing with the Devil Lyrics by Jelly Roll

Whitsitt Chapel

2023

[Verse 1]
Well I, I tell myself I'm just a guy
Who's been down on his luck his whole life
And I feel like I'm lead by the blind
By the blind
Oh, I met the devil one Saturday night
Grabbed the bottle and I came alive
What happened when I followed the lines
Was just lies

[Chorus]
I only drink when I'm feelin' alone
Tobacco's not the only thing that I smoke
I get too loose at the end of my rope
I know that I need to change, but I don't
I've gotten used to me feelin' this low
I'm on the edge of just losin' control
Only thing keeps him from stealin' my soul
God, don't let me go
I only dance with the devil I know

[Post-Chorus]
Dance with the devil I know

[Verse 2]
Oh I, I've crossed that line too many times
My friends tell me that I'm gonna die
If I don't change my ways
They tell me they're prayin' for me

[Chorus]
I only drink when I'm feelin' alone
Tobacco's not the only thing that I smoke
I get too loose at the end of my rope
I know that I need to change, but I don't
I've gotten used to me feelin' this low
I'm on the edge of just losin' control
Only thing keeps him from stealin' my soul
God, don't let me go
I only dance with the devil I know

[Bridge]
Oh, wash it all away
Wash it all away from me
Because of amazing grace
I'm better than I used to be

[Chorus]
I only drink when I'm feelin' alone
Tobacco's not the only thing that I smoke
I get too loose at the end of my rope
I know that I need to change, but I don't
I've gotten used to me feelin' this low
I'm on the edge of just losin' control
Only thing keeps him from stealin' my soul
God, don't let me go
I only dance with the devil I know

[Outro]
Devil I know, the devil I know
Dance with only the devil
