03 Red Light Up Ahead
Red light up ahead, hurry up and get dead
Cruisin’ in a long black, wild party in the back
Driver got a lead foot, bridge is out—don’t look
Paintin’ the town, your heartbeat a countdown to
Draggin’ down a hallway in a hospital bed
Red light up ahead.

Cat gut, coon flat, ain’t gonna be that
I’m invincible, long as my tank’s full
Father Time? I can lick him. I’m gonna play chicken
Wait til his eye whites get in my headlights
See me on the TV set: “Man Found Without a Head.”
Red light up ahead

Keep your dumb road map, don’t need sissy crap
Makin’ my own way—thanks a lot anyway
Busted a fuel line—what’s that road sign?
“Welcome to Death Valley.” shoulda got a Rand McNally
Tried to get to heaven and I got to hell instead
red light up ahead
red light up ahead
red light up ahead
red light up ahead
