about

Where he takes a walk in the woods and thinks about firewater and AM radio.

lyrics

The Jersey Devil creeps in late at night
tells you all the tales you heard were true
hides in the closet to give the kids a fright
then he says he’s coming after you

best get right with the devil
or get right with the lord
you only can get right with one
one’s all you can afford
the devil wants your business
but the lord he wants your love
but you just want to be left alone to drink whiskey in the tub

never been religious never been to church
people have their faith and that is fine
as you go wandering through the juniper and birch
you swear you hear the song of the divine

singing get right with the devil
or get right with the lord
you only can get right with one
one’s all you can afford
the devil wants your business
but the lord he wants your love
but you just want to be left alone to drink whiskey in the tub

pour it down your throat like water changed to wine
pour it down the drain and wonder about time

early the next morning you switch on the am
some preacher speaks about heaven and hell on earth
staring in the mirror you see shades of both of them
letting you know just what this life is worth

get right with the devil
or get right with the lord
you only can get right with one
one’s all you can afford
the devil wants your business
but the lord he wants your love
but you just want to be left alone to drink whiskey in the tub
