Devils Den by India Ramey Lyrics
Well it's a postcard town if you're looking with a naked eye
But if you look a little closer it's got a dark and evil side
All around the edges that's where the devil dwells
If you were born on the wrong side of the con you know it all too well
Well the police chief's the cocaine kingpin of the whole damn county
He gets his picture in the paper then sells half of what he's imounding
He's got whatever you want as long as you've got the money
If you're a pretty young thing he'll let you pay him with your body
If you're passing through keep on driving
If you were born here that's where you're dying
If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can
You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den
Well there's a trailer just a couple miles up the road
It's got a stove pipe sticking out the bathroom window
They ain't slept in days, they've been whipping up another batch
They’ll mix up in the same tub they give the baby a bath
If you're passing through keep on driving
If you were born here that's where you're dying
If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can
You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den
Across town a rich lawyer’s got a big house on the hill
He's got a pretty young wife who gets it all in the will
She's got a dirt-poor piece of ass on the side
Who's going to show him tonight he's worth more dead than alive
If you're passing through keep on driving
If you were born here that's where you're dying
If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can
You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den
But if you look a little closer it's got a dark and evil side
All around the edges that's where the devil dwells
If you were born on the wrong side of the con you know it all too well
Well the police chief's the cocaine kingpin of the whole damn county
He gets his picture in the paper then sells half of what he's imounding
He's got whatever you want as long as you've got the money
If you're a pretty young thing he'll let you pay him with your body
If you're passing through keep on driving
If you were born here that's where you're dying
If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can
You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den
Well there's a trailer just a couple miles up the road
It's got a stove pipe sticking out the bathroom window
They ain't slept in days, they've been whipping up another batch
They’ll mix up in the same tub they give the baby a bath
If you're passing through keep on driving
If you were born here that's where you're dying
If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can
You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den
Across town a rich lawyer’s got a big house on the hill
He's got a pretty young wife who gets it all in the will
She's got a dirt-poor piece of ass on the side
Who's going to show him tonight he's worth more dead than alive
If you're passing through keep on driving
If you were born here that's where you're dying
If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can
You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den
