Lyrics
Hell Hound
(1)
Load up the ride and hit the road to out of town
I don?t much like sitting around and waiting for a shake down
Got a friend that lives back East I think I?ll meet him there
God knows that looking around there ain?t nothing for me left here
(Chorus)
It?s just the way things go
It makes the world go round
Some days are better than others
And today I?m ridding the Hell Hound
(2)
Out on the highway, it delivers door to door
The end of the road is the town of Baltimore
Pick up 95 and head on South to D.C.
All full of diplomats and other V.I.P.
(Chorus)
It?s just the way things go
It makes the world go round
Some days are better than others
And today I?m ridding the Hell Hound
(3)
It?s hard to sit and chill, caught up in the politics
This town in nowhere land full of nothing but swinging dicks
I?m getting bug-eyed looking at my destiny
I?m ridding the Hell Hound and it?s here to set me free
(Chorus)
It?s just the way things go
It makes the world go round
Some days are better than others
And today I?m ridding the Hell Hound
I?m East Bound
