Judgment Day

Riley Lincoln

August 2012

I was wheeling along, singing my song

  Gas to the floor, looking for more

Drove right past "Judgment Day"

  The good Lord was sitting up high

Said "you're gonna have to do a drive-by--

  You gotta do a drive-by of life

So drive around the big track of life

  Then be sure to stop at Judgment Day

Then you can be on your way" 

Started around the big track, looking at my life

  Went around a big curve

When I saw my life, I started to lose my nerve

  Judgment Day was coming up fast...

I stomped hard on the gas

  The good Lord jumped out of the was

And I sped right through Judgment Day

Now here I am on life's Lost Highway

  Sitting next to me was the Devil

I looked up through the dark night

  Seen a sign said "Hank's Roadhouse--next right"

The Devil was smiling in the darkness of night

  I asked if he knew Hank

He said "for many years Hank's been in the bank"

We pulled into Hank's Roadhouse of Sin

  Me and the Devil walked right in

"Paycheck" just got done playing his set

  The devil said "Sit down, I'll buy your last beer"

Well, a man's last beer is a thing to hold dear

  But suddenly I felt no fear

Whirled on my stool, knocked over my beer

  I looked on as it spread 'cross the floor

              The Devil said

          "There ain't no more"

       Remember Judgment Day
