The Jersey Devil

Well something of a Blair Witch documentary The three of us on dark, dark October night We parked our car and took our flashlights Deep into the pitch black woods trying to prove Or disprove the legend of the ghost man Well maybe it's just the idea of it all but I do Feel like I'm being watched, don’t you feel it to Wait a minute, stop, look and listen don't you hear That, it sounds like it's coming from over there And all around us, I said hello is there anyone There, you said boy do you really wanna know Well I don't know about you but why don't we Just forget about this and go home but she Became speechless and as we turned around we Came face to face with THE JERSEY DEVIL... I never ran so fast in all my life trying to make It back to the car and the old dirt road and to be Honest with you I forgot all about them 'cuz it's Now I know there are things in the darkness Wicked and abnormal, thank God for watching Over us but I don't think I'll ever sleep again... Oooh Jeepers creepers and now here we are Again after twenty years going down that same Ole dirt road and I'm just sitting on pins and Needles, you’d think me crazy if I told you why Sometimes you just have to prove yourself wrong Because after all these years you still can't believe You saw what you saw with your own two eyes And but if I saw what I think I really saw well I can't believe I'm still alive and if you don't Believe me just go ahead and ask them, ask them The night from out of the twilight zone, the night We came face to face with THE JERSEY DEVIL I remember it as tho it were yesterday even to this Day I still have nightmares of that dark, dark October Night, the night we came face to face with the JERSEY DEVIL and ran, ran for our lives!

I really enjoyed this step back in time, at least for me Bo. I grew up in south Jersey and the Jersey Devil was supposed to have lived in the CC Woods, we as well would go out into these woods at night in search of the creature. Really cool.
