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
