Lyrics
Devil?s HWY Lyrics/Music: Dan Mahoney
It?s so hard
Workin? on that concrete R.R.
It?s so hard
Workin? on that Devil?s HWY
You thinkin? bout dyin?
I?m thinkin? ?bout that pay train comin?.
Pay train come,
I ain?t gon? work no more.
Saturday night come round
You know I?m hot steppin?
Sunday come ?round
I get down on my knees and pray.
So hard
workin? on that concrete R.R.
It?s so hard
Workin? on that Devil?s HWY.
