Lyrics
OLD SLICK
I first heard old slick a callin? me
When I was only sixteen
He bid me come and take a ride
But things aren?t always what they seem
You see this was actually a siren?s call
Old slick was temptin? me
Come get on board this hellbound train son
There are things that you must see
He led me thru temptation fields
He bid me sample them one and all
Soon old slick had a hold on me
I danced at the devil?s ball
We made all the shady evil stops
Me and old slick and that hellbound train
Not thinkin? bout the evil that men do
I was sinnin? all the same
Chorus
Now I speak to you from experience
Don?t set foot on that hellbound train
Old slick will take control of your life
He?ll drive a man or a woman insane
Old slick is on the prowl out there
Lookin? for souls that he
Can steal from God in Heaven
But with God?s help he won?t get me
Break
When that hellbound train pulled away
From the platform when I turned forty-three
I decided I?d been on board too long
And it left that day without me
God He had touched my heart
Old slick didn?t have a chance
The Lord He knew I needed help
So He broke old satan?s trance
Repeat Chorus
Now if you hear that siren?s call
Biddin? you come take a ride
Don?t set foot on that hellbound train
Just know that God is on your side
And remember old slick is on the prowl
Lookin? for souls that he
Can steal from God in Heaven
But with God?s help he won?t get thee
