Les Deuxluxes - On the Road lyrics

He took my hand and he said to me I want you to come out on the road with me No need to say a word, just need to leave tonight We'll slip on out from everybody's sight I oughta know, that's how it goes out here on the road He was so charming and was handsome as can be But I knew somehow that he was hiding something from me That spark in his eye and that devilish grin I couldn't resist going off with him I oughta know, that's how it goes out here on the road Well we got picked up and began to drive With his arm around me, it was sure to be a nice ride Til he put a gun to the driver's head And demanded all the money or he'd shoot him dead I oughta know, that's how it goes out here on the road A little shaken up from what'd happened back there I asked to pull into a gas station for a little air A sign on the wall seemed to read my fate My man was wanted for murder across ten states Oh, I ran to the phone as fast as I could I feared for my life and I knew that I should I tried the operator but the line was dead I turned around and the gun was pointed at my head And he said: "The road ends here. Farewell my dear, it's time for you to disappear." I oughta know, that's how it goes out here on the road.
