why should the devil have all the good music?
i want people to know that he saved my soul, but i still like to listen to the radio. they say "rock and roll is wrong we'll give you one more chance" i sat i feel so good i got to get up and dance.
i know what's right, i know what's wrong, i don't confuse it, all i'm really trying to say is why should the devil have all the good music? i feel good every day cause jesusu is the rock and he rolled my blues away.
they say to cut my hair, they're drivin' me insane, i grew it out to make room for my brain, but sometimes i people don't understand what' a good boy doing in a rock and roll band?
there's nothing wrong with playing blues licks but if you got a reason tell me to my face why should the devil have all the good music there'd nothing wrong with the music that i play jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away.
i ain't knockin the hymns just give me a song thatg has a beat, i ain't knocking the hymnsjust give me a song that moves my feet. i don't like none of these funeral marches, i ain't dead yet.
jesus told the truth, jesus showed the way. there's one thing i'd like to say they nailed him to the cross they laid him in the ground, but they shoulda known you can't keep a good man down.
i fel good every day i don't wanna lose it all i wanna all i wanna know is why should the devil have all the good music. i been filled i feel okay, jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away, jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away, jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away.
