Take a ride on the wild side
When the sun goes down
Gotta jump on a freight train
Gonna hit this town

Shot down, gotcha with a six gun
There's blood on my hands
Pale rider in a sandstorm
At the crossroads dusty way

Bet your life's gonna take you
Where the wild men roam
Just be careful what you wish for
Gonna shake them bones

I know a place
Got to get away

Never dance with the devil
When the sun goes down
Never dance with the devil
You better leave this town
Never dance with the devil
It's the spirit of the crossbones
Never dance with the devil
The Badlands is our playground

Take a ride on the wild side
There's blood and stone
And be careful what you wish for
It's gonna shake them bones

I know a place
Got to get away
Got caught shot down
The priest is on his way

Never dance with the devil
When the sun goes down
Never dance with the devil
You better leave this town
Never dance with the devil
It's the spirit of the crossbones
Never dance with the devil
The Badlands is our playground

Never dance with the devil
When the sun goes down
Never dance with the devil
Never dance with the devil
