Poughkeepsie, NY

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I met the devil in Poughkeepsie, New York He took a seat right beside me at the end of the bar He said I looked familiar; had we met sometime before? Yeah, I drank with the devil in Poughkeepsie, New York And I confessed I hadn't Prayed to God since 1988 He said, "Oh, kid, you should try again You know, before it's too late" I asked him where my soul would go If I just dropped dead today He smiled and said, "Oh, you've got some Good friends waiting for you at the gates" [Chorus] Hallelujah! O', Hallelujah! [Verse 2] He said, "Just say the word, and "I'll give you fame and fancy whores Or would you rather die a simple man: Just honest and poor?" I said, "Well, now I know who my real friends are "And I can't ask for much more" I thanked the devil for my drinks And made my way for the door [Chorus] Hallelujah! O', Hallelujah!
