The Devil's HonkyTonk (Classic Country Halloween Mix)

V6

[Intro – Instrumental] (Honky-tonk piano, chicken-pickin' electric guitar, walking bass, and a wicked fiddle riff) [Verse 1] There's a little old bar down a dead-end road, Where the whiskey runs hot and the devil's in control. There's a red neon sign hanging over the door, Says, "Leave your soul outside, boys, you won't need it anymore!" The bartender's got horns and a long black tail, The piano player's skeleton, his fingers never fail. There's a werewolf dancing with a woman in black, And a one-eyed undertaker pouring drinks from a sack! [Chorus] Welcome to the Devil's Honky Tonk, Where the dead get down and the damned get drunk! There's a fiddle on fire and a steel guitar, And a whole lot of sinners at the Devil's bar! Kick up the dust, let the demons stomp, Everybody's dancing at the Devil's Honky Tonk! Hey! Hey! Hey! Let the good times roll, One night in Hell gonna cost you your soul! [Verse 2] There's a cowboy ghost sitting on a barroom stool, Says he sold his soul for a shot of bathtub fuel. There's a six-foot skeleton playing rhythm on the floor, And Dracula's buying rounds while the Wolfman works the door! The Mummy's got a two-step, Frankenstein's got the blues, The Devil's on the dance floor in his red dancing shoes. The jukebox is smoking, the moon is turning black, And the Grim Reaper's hollering, "Boys, play that fiddle back!" [Chorus] Welcome to the Devil's Honky Tonk, Where the dead get down and the damned get drunk! There's a fiddle on fire and a steel guitar, And a whole lot of sinners at the Devil's bar! Kick up the dust, let the demons stomp, Everybody's dancing at the Devil's Honky Tonk! Hey! Hey! Hey! Let the good times roll, One night in Hell gonna cost you your soul! [Instrumental Break – Fiery Fiddle and Rockabilly Guitar] (Fast Charlie Daniels-inspired fiddle breakdown, Dwight-style twangy guitar solo, pounding honky-tonk piano) [Verse 3] Now the Devil took the stage with his cowboy hat, Said, "I ain't seen a party quite as wild as that!" He grabbed his fiddle, gave the strings a little bow, Said, "I'll play you boys a tune that you ain't gonna forget now!" The floorboards started shaking, the walls began to glow, The bartender yelled, "Last call! It's time to go!" But the Devil just laughed as he turned out the lights, Said, "Nobody leaves Hell on Halloween night!" [Bridge – Half-Time Country Blues] There's a bell in the tower and a fire in the sky, You can dance with the Devil, but you can't say goodbye. When the clock strikes twelve and the rooster starts to crow, You'll be dancing down in Hell with nowhere else to go! [Final Chorus – Full Band] Welcome to the Devil's Honky Tonk, Where the dead get down and the damned get drunk! There's a fiddle on fire and a steel guitar, And a whole lot of sinners at the Devil's bar! Kick up the dust, let the demons stomp, Everybody's dancing at the Devil's Honky Tonk! Hey! Hey! Hey! Let the good times roll, One night in Hell gonna cost you your soul! [Outro – Fast Fiddle and Piano] The Devil's Honky Tonk! The Devil's Honky Tonk! Raise your glass, stomp your feet, There's no last call on Hell's Main Street! (Final fiddle slide, piano crash, and one big bass note.)
