The Killigans - The Road Down Lyrics
Ninety miles an hour, down this interstateDriving on my last twenty dollars of gasGot everything I own inside this ChevroletGoing nowhere and that needle’s dropping fastThat woman broke my heart in St. LouisShot ‘em both and drove into the west after the sunI’m chasing down my soul on my way to hellEngine’s burning oil and I’ve got nowhere to runAs the daylight turns to dusk and that road keeps going furtherYeah my guilt comes washing over meAnd with every breath I take you know those demons that I chaseGo ever freeAnd so I , buckle down and keep that engine whiningRunning headlong to escape my destinyThere’s no going back my candles burning at both endsOn that old road downIts midnight and I’m just outside of Santa FeFlat tire and my conscience finally got me off the roadI drop down to my knees and I start to prayDon’t know if you’re up there but I’ve got a heavy loadAt long last yeah, the devil has caught up with meWhispers in my ear, with every mile you’re bound for hellI’m asking you now Lord for deliveranceTake me from perdition, yeah with you to dwellBut the only sounds I hear are from the coyotes on the hillsideYeah, their voices make a mournful harmonyNow I know that He is listening guess he don’t want to take a chanceOn the likes of meIf I could somehow beckon to the grace of GodProve that I am truly repentantI tell myself there must be something I could tryI do not run in vainMy life is not worthless
