Hell Bound Train
“I know every inch of railroad track
hellhound scars up & down my back
heart’s grown cold I can’t feel no pain
well, I’ll lie to you baby, I wanna make that plain
I can smell the sulphur, feel the flames…
I got burned out brakes on a hellbound train
hell bound train…wish it’d jump right off the tracks
but, as I near my destination
well, there ain’t no turnin’ back
I’m goin’ way to fast for me to try to change
ridin’ on a hell bound train
ridin’ on a hell bound train
well, I’d leave me alone, if I was you
cause I can’t sit still and I can’t be true
I been ridin’ this train on the back of a prayer
don’t tell me you love me baby, I don’t care
screwin’ things up is my middle name
I got burned out brakes on a hell bound train
hell bound train…wish it’d jump right off the tracks
but, as I near my destination
well, there ain’t no turnin’ back
I’m goin’ way to fast for me to try to change
ridin’ on a hell bound train
ridin’ on a hell bound train”
