The Devil went down to Florida

The devil went down to Florida
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willing to make a deal

When he came across this young mx racer

Spinning his tires in one spot
And the devil hopped up on a table top jump
And said, "Boy let me tell you what"

"I guess you didn't know it
But I'm a mx racer too
And if you'd care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you
 

Now your white boots and screaming motor is impressive boy

But give the devil his due
I’ll bet a CR 250 of gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you"

The boy said "My name's Ricky,
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet and you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best that's ever been"

Ricky tune up your red bike
And rev your motor hard

'Cause Hell's broke loose in Florida
And the devil deals the cards

And if you win
You get this shiny CR made of gold
But if you lose
The devil gets your soul

The devil walked over to a blue bike

And he said "I'll start this god dam show"
And fire flew from his exhaust pipe
As he twisted his throttle four times in a row

And he shifted in to first gear
And blew Ricky a kiss
Then a band of demons jumped in the stands
And when he rode off it sounded like this

When the devil finished Ricky said
"Well you're pretty good, old son
But sit down in the dirt right there
And let me show you how its done"

Fire on the track, run boys run
Ricky is on one wheel having fun
Off the triple is a one hand whip

He’s not taking any devils lip

The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he rested that golden CR

In front of Ricky’s feet

Ricky said "Devil, just come on back
If you ever want to try again
But I told you once, you son of a bitch
I'm the best that's ever been"

The devil bowed his head

And he rested that golden CR

In front of Ricky’s feet
