Speeding Like a Demon -Dave Coleman / Stephen Simmons / David Palmer
Late for a gig in Jacksonville
Ain't gonna make that dollar bill
as I pull into the station
Eat my junk food, drink an "Oca-Cola"
Three quarts low past Pensacola
Trials and Florida First Nations
Pounding rain, orange cones, engine wines, the engine moans
Speeding like a demon to get to the show
Round hat parked on the side of the road
Flashing lights down I slow
Ain't got time for interrogation
Spanish moss is hanging low,
little white crosses on the side of the road
Wondering if they found their salvation
Dotted lines, yellow lines, highway signs, and power lines
Speeding like a demon to get to the show
Pounding rain, orange cones, engine wines, the engine moans
Speeding like a demon to get to the show
Flirted with a little Europen waitress
Drank a pot of coffee, goodness gracious
Speeding like a Demon to get to the show
Many many moons ago
Some young brave Seminole
Speeding like a demon to get to his show
Dotted lines, yellow lines, highway signs, and power lines
Speeding like a demon to get to the show
