[Verse 1]
Bertie's like a junkyard saving his trash
Because he needs to
Lizzy's just a girl with her high-heels on
Lives in this town and she'll never get out, just older
[Chorus]
There's an old road, leads to my place
It must be better with the devil you know
There's an old road, leads to my place
It must be better with the devil you know
With the devil you know
[Refrain]
Don't turn your back on Steeltown
They tore the buildings down
Don't turn your back on Steeltown
[Verse 2]
Jimmy gets tired when there's nothing to do
Takes his aggression out on me, out on you
Julie dreams of life with a lover long gone
Looks in his eyes as he looks at her son
[Chorus]
There's an old road, leads to my place
It must be better with the devil you know
There's an old road, leads to my place
It must be better with the devil you know
With the devil you know
[Refrain]
Don't turn your back on Steeltown
They tore the buildings down
Don't turn your back on Steeltown
(Alright)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Maybe one day you'll remember the dreams you once had
When you were younger
Maybe one day you just might find the strength to return
And look around
[Verse 3]
Billy thinks he's cool 'cause he's running the pack
Pretty soon he won't be coming back
Alice works the night shift time and again
Saves a little money to stay away from him
[Chorus]
There's an old road, leads to my place
It must be better with the devil you know
There's an old road, leads to my place
It must be better with the devil you know
With the devil you know
[Refrain]
Don't turn your back on Steeltown
They tore the buildings down
Don't turn your back on Steeltown
Bertie's like a junkyard saving his trash
Because he needs to
Lizzy's just a girl with her high-heels on
Lives in this town and she'll never get out, just older
[Chorus]
There's an old road, leads to my place
It must be better with the devil you know
There's an old road, leads to my place
It must be better with the devil you know
With the devil you know
[Refrain]
Don't turn your back on Steeltown
They tore the buildings down
Don't turn your back on Steeltown
[Verse 2]
Jimmy gets tired when there's nothing to do
Takes his aggression out on me, out on you
Julie dreams of life with a lover long gone
Looks in his eyes as he looks at her son

There's an old road, leads to my place
It must be better with the devil you know
There's an old road, leads to my place
It must be better with the devil you know
With the devil you know
[Refrain]
Don't turn your back on Steeltown
They tore the buildings down
Don't turn your back on Steeltown

Don't turn your back on Steeltown
They tore the buildings down
Don't turn your back on Steeltown
