Pat Green - If I Was The Devil lyrics

If I was the devil

I'd hang out in blue eye, Missouri

Where the water and the mountain collide

I'd scare all the little children

And rumble around beneath the beds

Tell them all kind of stories

I cant help but get them stuck in their heads

Then I'd take out some of your livestock

You can blame it on the beast of the night

You know it was me

Same as you know wrong and right

If I was the devil

I'd go and find your preacher man

Crusty and white hair

I'd tell him that hell is on the way

Scare him right out of his skin

See the brimstone in his eyes

Then a band of fat white deacons would take him far away

That would be just fine with me

If I was the devil

If I was the devil

I'd gather up all your dreams

And drop them to the bottom if a black lagoon

I'd steal away all your patience and steal away all your pride

Leave you with nothing but uncontrollable fear

And then id reveal my masterpiece

As I dance around with the night

Down in blue eye, Missouri

Where the water and the mountain collide
