Hell or Holbrook Lyrics

Whiskey, women and sweet Mary Jane

About to drive this poor boy insane

Paranoia's got me dragging my feet

Steady shufflin' down a dead-end street

I call my baby just to see what she wants

I call my baby but I get no response

That's right

That's right

No food, no sleep

Too many promises to keep

That's how I know

I'm in too deep again

My friend

Eyes of blue, eyes so true

True to the point of pain

She took my last pack of American spirits

And ashed them in my brain

She left me hanging on a Saturday night

But it didn't take me too long to see the light

That's right

She was true to herself but to everyone else

She was death in disguise, feedin' me lies, oh yeah

So you know where I'm going now

I'm bound for hell or Holbrook, hey, hey, hey

And the way things are going, I might just leave today

It's such a shame to see you go

But I gotta be on my way

Hey, hey, hey

Sunday morning, I'm feeling blue

Think I'll have another drink or two

Have a few more before I'm through

Just to get my mind off of you

And when I've had another drink or two

I'm gonna call up you know who

That's right

That's right

We're gonna buy us a bottle of Ten High whiskey

And drink until the sun is out of sight

And then we're gonna drink all night

I'm bound for hell or Holbrook, hey, hey, hey

And the way things are going, I might just leave today

It's such a shame to see you go

But I gotta be on my way

Hey, hey, hey

Alright, take it now Zak

Alright, take it down a little bit

Eastbound at four in the morning

Lost souls on the predawn highway

Hungry ghosts in search of release

Hearts weighed and found to be wanting

Oh, I see those state trooper headlights

Flashing at me

You know what else I see

In the moonlight, Route 66

Looks a bit like the river styx

That's right

That's right

There's a look in my eyes that is not quite surprise

I've been wise to your lies

Ever since I learned your golden rule

And baby, I ain't nobody's fool

I'm bound for hell or Holbrook, hey, hey, hey

And the way things are going, I might just leave today

It's such a shame to see you go

But I gotta be on my way

Hey

Ah

Ah

Hey

Mama, I'm bound for hell

Mama, I feel the flames of hell lickin' at my feet

And I smell the smell of defeat

Hey

Hey

Hey
