Lyrics

The sun's coming up into a day without Rain.
The moon it went down never seen.
As Rikki and the home boys cruised into hell.
Trying to out run the Pain.

The shambles of home, they never gave life.
His daddy a memory at best.
His momma a dancer who never came home.
To lay him down softly to rest.

(Chorus)
Now Rikki's riding shotgun, blasting into hell.
Along for the ride of his life.
Now Rikki's riding shotgun, one foot down in hell.
Only God keeps the sheath on his knife.

The homeboys are restless, they haven't a clue.
What to do with the rest of their lives.
As Rikki drives on, in his head comes a song.
About love that brings tears to his eyes.

How in the hell did his life get so wrong.
When did the devil step in.
He wanted so bad to be mommy's best boy.
Now his bottle is filled with cheap gin.

Rikki's out on a limb, not attached to a tree.
And he knows that he's starting to fall.
From a place he stepped into when he was a child.
That still leaves him feeling so small.

(Chorus)
Now Rikki's riding shotgun, blasting into hell.
Along for the ride of his life.
Now Rikki's riding shotgun, one foot down in hell.
Only God keeps the sheath on his knife.

The sun's coming up into a day without Rain.
The moon it went down never seen.
As Rikki and the home boys cruised into hell.
Trying to out run the Pain.

(Chorus)
Now Rikki's riding shotgun, blasting into hell.
Along for the ride of his life.
Now Rikki's riding shotgun, one foot down in hell.
Only God keeps his sheath on his knife
