    page 5 and no "Devil Went Down To Georgia" ? I searched .

    The boy said "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin, but I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret 'cause I'm the best there's ever been....."

    Primus' 1998 version :righton:

    “Johnny and me used to have a dream
    If you ran real fast, it’d set you free
    So we kept on running, but our legs got tired
    And the dream just kinda faded when the spirit died”
