Devil's Run Lyrics

He was due at 7:30 but he never made it home
She stayed up all night long staring at that telephone
The sun was already rising when she finally gets the call
His rig went off the edge at Devil's Run

He was comin' 'round the mountain haulin' 20 tons of grain
He might of lost his brakes some say it might have been the rain
Trailed off that hip and down 400 feet of hell
Another soul is lost at Devil's Run

Devil's Run, Devil's Run
Skid marks tell the story of our Highway 31
Devil's Run, Devil's Run
Say a prayer before you head down Devil's Run

11 miles of highway down a suicidal grade
Lost count of the orphans and widows that it's made
Goin' round this mountain's gonna waste an extra day
Just wonderin' through these hills of Devil's Run

At the bottom of that hip lies a twisted pile of steel
Solid rusted coffins used to roll on 18 wheels
Ain't no way to raise 'em so they stay just as they lay In memory of them men from Devil's Run

Devil's Run, Devil's Run
Skid marks tell the story of our Highway 31
Devil's Run, Devil's Run
Say a prayer before you head down Devil's Run
If you don't respect the mountain you're nothin' but a fool
And the day that you'll meet Satan you'll be bleeding diesel fuel
Your children'll ask your widow, "Mama, where has Daddy gone?"
Say, "He never made it back from Devil's Run"

Devil's Run, Devil's Run
Skid marks tell the story of our Highway 31
Devil's Run, Devil's Run
Say a prayer before you head down Devil's Run

Devil's Run, Devil's Run
Skid marks tell the story of our Highway 31
Devil's Run, Devil's Run
Say a prayer before you head down Devil's Run
Say a prayer before you head down Devil's Run
Say a prayer before you head down Devil's Run
