Lyrics
Hell-Bent Train
copyright 2005 Michael Duer
VERSE 1
People stopped started staring at me, when the cop pulled me over to the side of the street
Like they never had to walk a straight line, hell this is my third time
As I list from side to side, knew I?d be cuffed taken for a ride
Staring thru the bars of a concrete cell, I kept on thinkin?
CHORUS
I?m out of control on a hell-bent train
I got myself in a frickin? predicament again
Convinced myself I need to change my ways
And I?ll straighten up if and when I ever get out of this place
VERSE 2
On the day that I made bail, stole a car cause I could, thought what the hell
It was a souped up GTO, I lit ?em so everyone?d know
Thought they?d stop me with a road block, but I was haulin? up towards two tenths of a mach
Came to staring up at bright light bulbs, thought my life was gone (cause)
REPEAT CHORUS
POST CHORUS (After 2nd Chorus)
Cause I can?t keep up this pace. And they think I?m a disgrace. And a waste of time & space
BRIDGE
I look back on my life, not proud of many things I?ve done
In trouble with the law, I?m always on the run
Guess I could learn to change my ways, but hell that ain?t no damn fun
No that ain?t no fun
Rather spend my life being on the run
CHORUS
I?m out of control on a hell-bent train
I got myself in a frickin? predicament again
Ain?t no way I?m gonna change my ways
But what the hell everybody here gotta die someday
OUTRO
Yeah, you gotta die someday
Might as well be on a hell-bent train
