Rattlesnake Road

Snake eyes rolling down a diamondback heart
It ain't a good roll but a place to start
She wasn't best and I wasn't the worst
If true love was water, we'd have died of thirst
Coiled in the back seat ready to strike
Love bites deep in the middle of the night
On Rattlesnake road

I'm a full moon fool when the moon comes up
Drinkin' whiskey straight from a Dixie cup
I got the top laid back and the lights turned out
Gonna find out soon what it's all about
Love is the passion, poison the sin
Straight to your heart when the fangs sink in
On Rattlesnake Road

Twistin' and turnin' outa control
Rattlesnake Road won't let go
To young to quite, to old to try
I'd sell my soul for one more ride
On Rattlesnake Road

In most states what we did was crime
She sixteen goin' on twenty nine
Well she shook me up and she rattled my chain
Then she wet me down like a drivin' rain
