Marc Blackwell - The Party's Good on the Road to Hell lyrics

She said she knew the way, I was just 16 She flipped me her car keys, then taught me everything Sneaking into bars, palming cards and poker bluffs How to outrun the law while picking her handcuffs Deep sea treasure hunting, laundering gold doubloons Celebrating with good rum under a Caribbean moon Charming both the princess and her mom the queen In our Vegas penthouse, rich from roulette schemes She said "You can't lay low if you wanna live high You gotta play all your cards before you die It's boring being safe, can't stay in one place Got too many demons out there giving chase Now some hands won't win, some cons go bust We'll only get so close, it won't be love There'll be some regret, some secrets you can't tell But the party's good on the road to hell" She found us the best fun, frat house to royal ball New Orleans Mardi Gras, Brazil for Carnival I was her James Bond, martini, caviar Cruising at one-forty, chilling in her black Jaguar We hosted kings and mafia, played golf with Presidents Ran naked with the bulls, sang with Bono and The Edge Walked down that red carpet with Johnny Depp in tow We flew F-16s and rockets as far as they could go She said "You can't lay low if you wanna live high You gotta play all your cards before you die It's boring being safe, can't stay in one place Got too many demons out there giving chase Now some hands won't win, some cons go bust We'll only get so close, it won't be love There'll be some regret, some secrets you can't tell But the party's good on the road to hell" My sister's boy came to me for advice And I could see adventure in his eyes He was just like me at that age So I sat him down and I gave it to him straight I said "You can't lay low if you wanna live high You gotta play all your cards before you die It's boring being safe, don't stay in one place Got too many demons out there giving chase Now some hands won't win, some cons go bust You'll only get so close, you won't find love There'll be some regret, some secrets you can't tell But the party's good on the road to hell Oh yeah the party's good on the road to hell" "My girl was good at everything and she knew where that road went But the one thing she couldn't do was get off before the end So promise me this .. Even if she begs you to stay When you see that last exit, don't you hesitate When you see that last exit, don't you hesitate"
