Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hot cherry on Friday night
When the sun goes down my spine
I put an axe in my baby's head
I'm gonna end up doing time
[Verse 2]
She looks so good in red
American nightmare running scared
[Verse 3]
She shoulda been hard to gut
She shoulda been hard to kill
She shoulda been hard to kill, hey
[Verse 4]
I had to split your head
American nightmare running scared
[Verse 5]
Heading down the highway
Sign has three inverted nines
If the Lord don't get me, the devil will
But not without a fight
[Verse 6]
This highway never ends, I said
American nightmare running scared
American nightmare running scared
[Verse 7]
Heading down the highway
Sign has three inverted nines
If the Lord don't get me, the devil will
But not without a fight
[Verse 8]
This highway never fucking ends
American nightmare running scared
American nightmare running scared
