red simpson - nitro express lyrics

Loading...

i was pullin’ up a hill that’s known as the devil’s crest,
haulin’ 36 ton on a run called the nitro express.
there was nothin’ but curves a runnin’ from the top on down,
and at the bottom of the grade sat a quiet little country town.

well, i was drivin’ off the top when she jarred and the driveshaft broke,
started pumpin’ up the brakes, saw ’em going in a big cloud of smoke.
to keep ‘er upright …i knew i had to do my best,
against a runaway bomb they call the nitro express.

(chorus)

there was 36 ton of a detonated steel,
over 18 tires that smoked and squealed.
i had to ride her down and i couldn’t jump free,
or there’d be a big hole where that little town used to be.

well that old trailer leaned each time that i took another curve,
my hands started sweatin’ and i knew i was losin’ my nerve.
and i was cussin’ each rock and every inch of the devil’s crest,
a fightin’ with the wheel of a rig called the nitro express.

i side-swipped a mountain so i’d slow her down by rubbin’ her side,
and when the sparks started flyin’ man it looked like the 4th of july.
i finally got her stopped … but mister i’m a gonna confess,
that’s the last run i’m makin’ in a rig called the nitro express.

(chorus)
(repeat chorus – change last line to .cause there’d be a big
hole where that little town used to be.
