Peer Gunt Southbound Drivin' Man Lyrics

There's a madman on the road doin' 99
There's a madman on the road so you stay home tonight

He can smell there's trouble waitin' round the bend
And he can smell the blood he's waitin' for the end

He can see the headlight shinin' comin' from behind
They're gonna shoot him down or take him back inside

Oh Lord have mercy on a man who's done his time
Please let him drive away he's just like you and I

Gonna do time - run down the highway
Gonna do time - gotta keep on movin'

There's a madman on the road runnin' from the fight
There's a madman on the road comin' from behind

Their guns are loaded and their bullets made of led
There's nothing to it boy, they're out to get you dead

Gotta drive on through the night an' shake 'em off your tale
This guy ain't givin' up, he hangs on tooth and nail Oh Lord have mercy on a man who's done his time
Please let him drive away he's just like you and I

Gonna do time - run down the highway
Gonna do time - gonna do it myway

Gonna do time - run down the highway
Gonna do time - gotta keep on movin'

Southbound drivin' man
Southbound drivin' man
Southbound drivin' man

There's a madman on the road doin' 99
There's a madman on the road so you stay home tonight

Oh Lord have mercy on a man who's done his time
Please let him drive away he's just like you and I

Gonna do time - gotta keep on movin'
Gonna do time - gonna do it myway

Southbound drivin' man
Southbound drivin' man
Southbound drivin' man
Southbound drivin' man
