Give a Ride to the Devil
I was only 8 years old
Reading comics from the rack at Denny's drug store
And I wanted me some gum
Had a quarter in my pocket needed one more
Don't know what got into me
When I tucked a pack of Wrigley's in the pocket of my jeans
Felt a tap on my shoulder and an old man said to me
Boy you're headed down a road
Where you just don't wanna go
If you start slippin' down that slope
You won't get out alive
If you give a ride to the devil
Someday he's gonna wanna drive
Got the keys to Daddy's Ford
He said, "don't you let me find a scratch tomorrow"
My second cousin brought a six pack
Though I knew it wasn't right I didn't say no
Came home after midnight
Snuck up to my room and I just got into my bed
An empty bottle in his hand Daddy woke me up and said
Boy you're headed down a road
Where you just don't wanna go
If you start slippin' down that slope
You won't get out alive
If you give a ride to the devil
Someday he's gonna wanna drive
When life's full of frustration, trials and temptation
These are the words that have been my salvation
Boy you're headed down a road
Where you just don't wanna go
If you start slippin' down that slope
You won't get out alive
If you give a ride to the devil
Someday he's gonna wanna drive
Someday he's gonna wanna drive
Someday he's gonna wanna drive
Reading comics from the rack at Denny's drug store
And I wanted me some gum
Had a quarter in my pocket needed one more
Don't know what got into me
When I tucked a pack of Wrigley's in the pocket of my jeans
Felt a tap on my shoulder and an old man said to me
Boy you're headed down a road
Where you just don't wanna go
If you start slippin' down that slope
You won't get out alive
If you give a ride to the devil
Someday he's gonna wanna drive
Got the keys to Daddy's Ford
He said, "don't you let me find a scratch tomorrow"
My second cousin brought a six pack
Though I knew it wasn't right I didn't say no
Came home after midnight
Snuck up to my room and I just got into my bed
An empty bottle in his hand Daddy woke me up and said
Boy you're headed down a road
Where you just don't wanna go
If you start slippin' down that slope
You won't get out alive
If you give a ride to the devil
Someday he's gonna wanna drive
When life's full of frustration, trials and temptation
These are the words that have been my salvation
Boy you're headed down a road
Where you just don't wanna go
If you start slippin' down that slope
You won't get out alive
If you give a ride to the devil
Someday he's gonna wanna drive
Someday he's gonna wanna drive
Someday he's gonna wanna drive
