Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music

I want the people to know that He saved my soul

But I still like to listen to the radio,

They say that "Rock 'n roll is wrong, give you one more chance"

I said "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

Well, all I'm really tryin' to say is

Why should the devil have all the good music?



Yeah, I feel good everyday

'Cause Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues away



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

I grew it out long to make room for my brain

But sometimes people don't understand

What's a good boy doin' in a rock n' roll band



There's nothin' wrong with playin' blues licks

If you've got a reason, tell me to my face

Why should the devil have all the good music?



There's nothing wrong with what we play

'Cause Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues away



I ain't knockin' the hymns, just give me a song that has a beat

I ain't knockin' the hymns, give me a song that moves my feet



Jesus told the truth and Jesus showed the way

One more thing I'd like to say

They nailed Him to the cross, and they laid Him in the ground

But they shouldn't known you can't keep a good man down



And I feel good everyday, I refuse to lose it

All I wanna know from all of you is

Why should the devil have all the good music?



I get down and I feel okay

Because 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
