The k**igans - The Road Down lyrics

Ninety miles an hour, down this interstate Driving on my last twenty dollars of gas Got everything I own inside this Chevrolet Going nowhere and that needle's dropping fast That woman broke my heart in St. Louis Shot ‘em both and drove into the west after the sun I'm chasing down my soul on my way to hell Engine's burning oil and I've got nowhere to run As the daylight turns to dusk and that road keeps going further Yeah my guilt comes washing over me And with every breath I take you know those demons that I chase Go ever free And so I , buckle down and keep that engine whining Running headlong to escape my destiny There's no going back my candles burning at both ends On that old road down Its midnight and I'm just outside of Santa Fe Flat tire and my conscience finally got me off the road I drop down to my knees and I start to pray Don't know if you're up there but I've got a heavy load At long last yeah, the devil has caught up with me Whispers in my ear, with every mile you're bound for hell I'm asking you now Lord for deliverance Take me from perdition, yeah with you to dwell But the only sounds I hear are from the coyotes on the hillside Yeah, their voices make a mournful harmony Now I know that He is listening guess he don't want to take a chance On the likes of me If I could somehow beckon to the grace of God Prove that I am truly repentant I tell myself there must be something I could try I do not run in vain My life is not worthless
