[Verse] There's a sign on State Street bold it gleams "Good place to live" but it ain't what it seems Down in the holler where the shadows creep Bristol's secrets they run mighty deep [Verse 2] Moonshine whispers through the mountain air Devil's laugh echoes no one dares Hiding in plain sight with a sinister grin In this wicked town where the dark begins [Chorus] Bristol Tennessee you got a devil's grin Behind your smile feels like a deadly sin Good place to live but the truth you'll find Bristol’s got an evil state of mind [Bridge] Fiddle plays a tune but it sounds unkind Strings of darkness woven you’re bound to find Toe-tapping rhythm but it’s a haunting beat Every corner hides some dark deceit [Verse 3] Down by the river where the willows weep Lies a story buried way too deep Bristol's charm will pull you in But tread too far and you'll be pinned [Chorus] Bristol Tennessee you got a devil's grin Behind your smile feels like a deadly sin Good place to live but the truth you'll find Bristol’s got an evil state of mind
