Road To Hell - Rory Gallagher

Soft-soaped on the road to Hell

So many times I’ve tripped and fell

No chances left

The sky is falling down on me

Yeah…

One step from the demons' fire

Can’t stop the train, and flames get higher

Too late to save me

The wall’s coming down on me

Yeah…

Broken wishes and broken dreams

Close to the edge, I cut it lean

No regrets

The flame’s getting higher on me

Yeah…

Push the tempo, push the time

No excuses, not this time

No way out

The ground’s opening up on me

Yeah… oh yeah…

Can you feel the heat?

Coming from the street

Pouring down on me… yeah…

They tried to keep me on a long thin chain

Thanks, but no thanks just the same

You saw it coming

The devil’s got the jump on me

Yeah…

Lost soul on the road to Hell

Wind up the motor and ring the bell

No stopping now

The pain’s coming down on me

Yeah…

Straight time on the road to Hell

No mercy time at the wishing well

No turning back

The Angels gonna cry on me

Yeah…
