Huke Green - Backwoods

Over the hills and through the woods, searchin’ for a lost soul

One will suck you dry, the other ‘ll clean your bones

The sky is growin’ dark, I suggest you just stay home

Cause there’s things in these ol’ backwoods,

Lies will never save

They’ll all think you’re crazy,

So you take ‘em to your grave

Yeah you’re crazy if you speak of,

So you take ‘em… to your grave

The devil’s down in Dixie, at this place I’ve never seen

It ain’t like heaven or hell, but somewhere in between

And there are angels on the tree tops, snakes down in the dirt

The devil’s dancing around the fire, but I ain’t sayin’ a word

There’s old men and there’s moonshine, game of stud by a whiskey still

There’s blood and there’s money, secrets for which they’d kill

And you’ve got pine-tops an’ the riverbeds, ghost by a hanging tree

Things that words just can’t describe, you gotta see ‘em to believe
