Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music

One, two, a one, two, three

I want the people to know, that he saved my soul

But I still like to listen to the radio

They say rock 'n' roll is wrong

We'll give you one more chance

I say I feel so good I gotta 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?

And I feel good every day

Because Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues away

They say to cut my hair, they're driving me insane

I grew it out long to make room for my brain

But sometimes people don't understand

What's a good boy doing in a rock 'n' 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's nothing wrong with what I play

Ha, 'cause Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues away

Alright

I ain't knocking the hymns

Just give me a song that has a beat

I ain't knocking the hymns

Just give me a song that moves my feet

I don't like none of those funeral marches

I ain't dead yet

Wow

Jesus told the truth, Jesus showed the way

There's one more 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 feel 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've been filled, I feel okay

Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues

Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues

Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues away

Yeah
