Around about the time I turned 16,
my daddy was a drunkard,
he was nasty and mean.
He showed me out the front door,
dropped me up the road and said,
It's time you lived your life,
don't come back here no more.
Yeah,
he left me on my own,
no where to go, and no place to call home.
I hitched a ride,
straight into town,
I told the driver everything that went down.
He said,
I am the driver,
an ace around these parts,
I know you're hurting boy,
let me give
you my car.
Yet I drive contraband all over the state,
it's a real risky business but I get well
paid.
Whiskey and beer, and cigarettes too,
we move a bit of grass so you need to stay cool.
You have the keys to this very fast car,
drive like the wind to stay ahead of you all.
Yeah,
I was on my own,
no where to go, and no place to call home.
Teach me to drive,
I said,
teach me all you know,
and I'll be your driver on this open road.
I'll bring back the money,
I'll bring back the cash,
drive like a demon, I won't spare no gas.
I'll wait through the night,
put the stove to the cast,
I'll bring back the money,
just like you asked.
I know these old roads like the back of my hand,
and I got the street smarts to say one step ahead.
And if Johnny Law ever gets too close,
I'll press the pedal to the metal,
he can eat my dust.
Yeah,
I was on my own,
no where to go,
and no place to call home.
Now I'm the driver,
a midnight man,
a real midnight flyer,
shifting contraband.
I'll bring back the money,
I'll bring back the cash,
drive like a demon, I won't spare no gas.
I'll wait through the night,
put the stove to the cast,
I'll bring back the money, just like you asked.
I'll bring back the money,
I'll bring back the cash,
drive like a demon,
I won't spare no gas.
I'll wait through the night,
put the stove to the cast,
I'll bring back the money,
just like you asked.
I'll bring back the money,
I'll bring back the cash,
drive like a demon,
I won't spare no gas.
I'll wait through the night,
put the stove to the cast,
I'll bring back the money,
just like you asked.
I'll bring back the money,
I'll bring back the cash,
drive like a demon,
I won't spare no gas.
I'll wait through the night,
put the stove to the cast,
I'll bring back the money,
just like you asked.
I'll bring back the money,

I'll bring back the money,
just like you asked.
