Lyrics

Strange woman . .
Strange bed . .
Thor's hammer poundin' in my head
Six straight double shots of high-grade single malt
And my mouth is tastin' dryer than table salt (a popcorn fart)

Yeah, but I know what i'm doin' . .
I'm on the road to ruin

Monday mornin' . .
Last friday night . .
Well I had the feelin' everything was alright
Here I am in trouble with the love of my life
Hopin' she don't cut me with no butcher knife

I got brownie points a-cruin' . .
I'm on the road to ruin

[Piano solo]

Sun blindin' . .
Teeth grindin' . .
Ears burnin' . .
Stomach turnin' . .
Well, summer's commin' and the winter's gone
Here I am still sleepin' with my blue jeans on
Well I had it goin' till I lost my job
Now i'm out here casin' out some joint to rob

Baby's needin' shooin' . .
I'm on the road to ruin

[Guitar solo]

Sirens blarin' . .
Neighbors starin' . .
Judge's gavel . .
Well, I come unraveled . .
Well, i've been rollin' downhill since I was ten
My les paul livin's going to do me in
I can't get this roller-coaster rifle to a stop
'Cause when I hit the bottom i'm right back on top

Big ideas a-brewin . .
Well i'm on the road to ruin
