Hoodoo Gurus 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.
