She’s some kind of wonderful, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And then I tell her, as I turn out the light  
I say, “My darling, you are wonderful tonight”  
Oh my darling, you are wonderful tonight

Oh darling, please believe me

Believe me when I tell you  
I’ll never do you no harm

Oh darling, if you leave me  
I’ll never make it alone  
Believe me when I beg you  
Don’t ever leave me alone

Ohh darlin’  
My darlin’ you’re so fine  
Ohhhh-hhh-hhh  
Don’t know if words can say  
But darlin’ i’ll find a way  
To let you know what you meant to me  
Guess it was meant to be  
I hold you in my heart  
As life’s most precious part

I was born in a trunk  
Mama died and my daddy got drunk  
Let me hear two dying crows  
In the middle of tobacco road

Grew up in a rusty shack  
All I owned was hanging on my back  
Only lord knows how I loved tobacco road

Why don’t we do it in the road?  
Why don’t we do it in the road?  
Why don’t we do it in the road?  
Why don’t we do it in the road?  
No one will be watching us  
Why don’t we do it in the road?

And we’re not little children  
And we know what we want  
And the future is certain  
Give us time to work it out

We’re on a road to nowhere  
Come on inside  
Takin’ that ride to nowhere  
We’ll take that ride

Look out world, take a good look what comes down here  
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well  
This ain’t no upwardly mobile freeway  
Oh no, this is the road, this is the road, this is the road to hell

Livin’ easy  
Lovin’ free  
Season ticket on a one way ride  
Askin’ nothin’  
Leave me be  
Takin’ everythin’ in my stride  
Don’t need reason  
Don’t need rhyme  
Ain’t nothin’ that I’d rather do  
Goin’ down  
Party time  
My friends are gonna be there too

I’m on the highway to hell  
On the highway to hell  
Highway to hell  
I’m on the highway to hell

_(I mean, given “the road to hell,” what else can you follow it with???)_

I lit out from Reno  
I was trailed by twenty hounds  
Didn’t get to sleep that night  
Till the morning came around

Set out runnin’ but I take my time  
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine  
If I get home before daylight  
I just might get some sleep tonight

Hear the hurricane, howling out my name  
Coming now to take me under  
Oh no! not now! don’t take me please  
Oh no! let go! not ready to leave

Devil’s gate is opening on me

Somebody bring me some water  
Can’t you see I’m burning alive?  
Can’t you see my baby’s  
Got another lover?  
I don’t know how I’m gonna survive  
Somebody bring me some water  
Can’t you see it’s out of control?  
Baby’s got my heart  
And my baby’s got my mind  
But tonight the sweet devil  
Sweet devil’s got my soul

I too have lost my love today  
All of my dreams have flown away  
Now, just like you I sit and wonder why  
You’ve got your troubles, I’ve got mine  
You need some sympathy, well so do I  
You’ve got your troubles, I’ve got mine

Oh, the moonlight’s fair tonight along the Wabash  
From the fields there comes the breath of new mown hay  
Through the sycamore the candle lights are gleaming  
On the banks of the Wabash, far away
