I'm driving tonight all I see is your face

With my foot to the floor in this go nowhere race

I'd quit you but I don't know how

The devil behind me I feel his hot breath

Another poor loser that's hell bent for death

Stayin' one mile ahead of the end

Just twisting and turning on these mountain roads

Just racing, chasing the wind

The devil, he's laughing, I don't wanna go
Am F
I ain't ready to pay for my sins

All I can hear is the motor's sweet whine

And the rush of the cold autumn wind

Rememberin' back to the days you were mine
F G Am
Can never go back there again

C G
The devil he sits like a bird on my shoulder

He laughs and he whispers your name

He says I bet you wish one time you could hold her

Before you check out of the game

He screams in my ear, says kid let me steer

You're driving just like an old woman

Man give it some gas or you'll get nowhere fast

Can't you see you're already forgotten

The oil is burning we're twistin' and turning

The engine is smelling like brimstone

I hear the trees calling like tears their leaves falling
Am F
I know that it's time to go home
C G
I'm praying to Jesus, the devil, he's laughing
Am F
No witnesses to my demise
C G
I let go of the wheel in my coffin of steel
F G Am
And dream of the tears in your eyes
C G
I let go of the wheel in my coffin of steel
F G Am
And dream of the tears in your eyes
F G Am
dream of the tears in your eyes
