Josh Rister - Palm of the Devil's Hand

Copied!
(Verse 1)
Well, the devil moved to Kentucky in 1979
He set up shop in a town not far from the town that I call mine
He was a doctor, a dealer with a crooked grin
A cold-hearted businessman
Had the folks all around my hometown
Eating poison from the palm of his hand
(Verse 2)
Well his sins washed down the river, through every creek and stream
Wasn’t nowhere you could hide from the Devil’s wicked deeds
They locked him up in Lexington and threw away the key
But it was far too littlе
And far too late
For the folks like you and mе
(Verse 3)
There’s many round here that hope he rots
For his many, many sins
The devil may have come from way up north, but Kentucky is where he’ll end
And things ain’t got much better in the years that have passed since
The devil’s still around with a different name
Leading others to a life of sin
(Verse 3.5)
You can blame it on the mountain, you can blame it on the man
But you better not forget where it came from
The palm of the devil’s hand
