Rory Gallagher - Road To Hell lyrics

rate me

Soft-soaped on the road to Hell<br />

So many times I've tripped and fell<br />

No chances left<br />

The sky is falling down on me<br />

Yeah....<br />

One step from the demons' fire<br />

Can't stop the train, and flames get higher<br />

Too late to save me<br />

The wall's coming down on me<br />

Yeah...<br />

Broken wishes and broken dreams<br />

Close to the edge, I cut it lean<br />

No regrets<br />

The flame's getting higher on me<br />

Yeah...<br />

Push the tempo, push the time<br />

No excuses, not this time<br />

No way out<br />

The ground's opening up on me<br />

Yeah... oh yeah...<br />

Can you feel the heat?<br />

Coming from the street<br />

Pouring down on me... yeah...<br />

They tried to keep me on a long thin chain<br />

Thanks, but no thanks just the same<br />

You saw it coming<br />

The devil's got the jump on me<br />

Yeah...<br />

Lost soul on the road to Hell<br />

Wind up the motor and ring the bell<br />

No stopping now<br />

The pain's coming down on me<br />

Yeah...<br />

Straight time on the road to Hell<br />

No mercy time at the wishing well<br />

No turning back<br />

The Angels gonna cry on me<br />

Yeah....
