I walked alone down a dusty lonely road
I tried to run away from the mess I made
The whiskey and the speed drove me to do some awful things
Now I'm on the run and I'm living day by day
Looking for a ride to get the hell out of dodge
I couldn't walk another step in this dry sunlight
I thumbed the air and prayed to a God that didn't want me around
My luck got a whole lot better as a car pulled into sight
There's a killer on the road
I lived my life all wrong
If I let the Lord guide me more
He'd take my hand and walk me on home
This car roared at me and swore at first it was burning screaming steed
Smoke belched behind him blackening the sky
He pulled up right beside me and hid a forked tongue
Said listen kid, you look like ya need a ride
He asked me if I knew where I was headed
I said I gotta get away and that's all I can tell you man
Said jump in kid I'm heading that way myself and don't ya know
In a mile I knew there was something wrong when he looked at me and said
There's a killer on the road
I lived my life all wrong
If I let the Lord guide me more
He'd take my hand and walk me on home
Save me save me!
Save me save me!
A line of blow down the back of his throat I knew I made a mistake
I never got the chance to learn from, said I was gonna die
He served a man in black and this was the only way
To satisfy the end of his gambled life
The locks froze in place and my gut went cold I knew I neared the end
I pleaded my case and said he'll spend his life in jail
His eyes went red with a devils fire and he laughed through busted lips
Said we ain't stopping till we reach the gates of hell
There's a killer on the road
I lived my life all wrong
If I let the Lord guide me more
He'd take my hand and walk me on home
18 wheels ended all my worries don't you know
I shredded myself through the glass until I splattered on the road
I left my body in a one,000 pieces and I saw the holy ghost
Hand my leash the reaper of death to drag me down below
There's a killer on the road
I lived my life all wrong
If I let the Lord guide me more
He'd take my hand and walk me on home
