Give a Ride to the Devil Songtext
von The Roys

I was only 8 years old
Reading comics from the rack at Denny′s drug store
And I wanted me some gum
Had a quarter in my pocket needed one more
Don't know what got into me
When I tucked a pack of Wrigley′s in the pocket of my jeans
Felt a tap on my shoulder and an old man said to me

Boy you're headed down a road
Where you just don't wanna go
If you start slippin′ down that slope
You won′t get out alive
If you give a ride to the devil
Someday he's gonna wanna drive


Got the keys to Daddy′s Ford
He said, "don't you let me find a scratch tomorrow"
My second cousin brought a six pack
Though I knew it wasn′t right I didn't say no
Came home after midnight
Snuck up to my room and I just got into my bed
An empty bottle in his hand Daddy woke me up and said

Boy you′re headed down a road
Where you just don't wanna go
If you start slippin' down that slope
You won′t get out alive
If you give a ride to the devil
Someday he′s gonna wanna drive

When life's full of frustration, trials and temptation
These are the words that have been my salvation

Boy you′re headed down a road
Where you just don't wanna go
If you start slippin′ down that slope
You won't get out alive
If you give a ride to the devil
Someday he′s gonna wanna drive
Someday he's gonna wanna drive
Someday he's gonna wanna drive
