Hayride To Hell

Charlie was a driver and he hardly spent a night at home.

He rarely saw his family, trucking loads those long weeks

on the road.

And Charlie would drive

For miles and miles.

Charlie had a teenage daughter he thought of as a little

girl

But one day he came home his little girl had grown-up

news to tell.

"Oh Daddy", she cried "oh Daddy, I tried But on the

hayride how I fell

That was a hayride bound for Hell."

Now Billy Jackson was the father but he wasn't man enough

to own.

And his daddy was the mayor and he said,

"Charlie, just leave my Billy-boy alone."

Billy had to hide

But there was guilt inside

And you can't hide from yourself.

That's just a hayride bound for Hell.

Charlie's daughter died whilst giving birth to Billy

Jackson's child

And Billy Jackson ain't been seen around these parts for

quite a while.

And Charlie would drive

For miles and miles

And his tail-lights say farewell

He's a hayride bound for Hell.
