Nickelback - The Devil Went Down to Georgia
The Devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind the way behind and willing to make a deal
When he came across this young man pickin' a guitar and playin' it hot
The Devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said, "Boy, let me tell you what."
"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a guitar player, too
And if you'd care to take this dare I'll make a bet with you
Now you a pretty damn good strummer, boy, but give the Devil his due
I'll bet a guitar of gold against your soul that says I'm better than you"
But the boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet; you're gonna regret, I'm the best there's ever been."
★ Verse 2 ★
The Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he tuned his axe down low
And he pulled that pick across the strings and it made an evil hiss
Then a band of demons all joined in and it sounded just like this
★ Verse 3 ★
When the Devil finished, Johnny said, "Well, you're pretty good, old son
Well sit your old ass in that chair right there, let me show you how the fuck it's done."
★ Verse 4 ★
The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that gold guitar down on the ground at Johnny's feet
But Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back, if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been."

Biography
They formed in the early 1990’s as a cover band called “The Village Idiots”. They eventually changed its name to Nickelback, which originates from the change Mike Kroeger usually gave back when he worked at Starbucks. Because everything was changed at $X.95, he would usually say, “Here’s your nickel back.”
Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups, having sold more than 50 million albums worldwide and ranking as the eleventh best-selling music act, and the second best-selling foreign act in the U.S. behind The Beatles, of the 2000’s.
Billboard ranks them the top rock group of the decade, and they listed their hit “How You Remind Me” as the top rock song of the decade.
