[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
