You dance with the devil you came with

This is a nice mashup of “dance with the devil (or death)” (do something dangerous, risky or on the wild side) and “dance with the one that brung ya” (be loyal or attentive to the one who has been supportive). So perhaps Ike was saying, “stick to the risky behavior that has made you successful”? Maybe this can be a follow-up song for Shania Twain as well? A big thank you to Linda Bernstein who heard this one and passed it on!
