Up around the bend   A southern boy with not a grin   And fingertips that won't leave prints   And that bad dog won't come home   We should have known, it's not our own   It's the way that the famous sit alone      Now that those boys left town   That Cape Fear bridge fell down   It made the river taste like whiskey   So R-E-L-A-X cowboy   You cannot kill what you don't enjoy   This is your chance, go be a man   Show the devil how good you dance!      If you meet me at the river to dance   I'll feel the rhythm in the side of your hand   Well Carolina's leaving so you gotta fill your reasons   It's the dead, the dead can dance.   It's the dead, the dead can dance.      Now that the arrest was made   They took him down at the masquerade   He had nothing he could trade   Talks in her sleep again   It's too damn late and she can't come in   Well that's all,   WHAT'S WRONG?   He didn't realize they were missing      YEAH!   WELL ALRIGHT!      Those dead boys got me wrong   That song was way too long   We took a chance to shake the willing   So R-E-L-A-X your stride   Shake it, shake it mama, make me lose my mind   This is your chance, go be a man   Teach that devil to dance      Well if you meet me at the river to dance   I'll feel the rhythm with the side of my hand   Well Carolina's leaving so you better fill your reasons   It's the dead, the dead can dance   Whoa yeah, yeah, yeah      So many places   Pretty faces   Tell that devil   Tell that devil, leave those boys alone! x4
