Analysis of GREASY ROAD ...lyrics



The devil drove my love away,
down that greasy road today.
Making cruel jibes at me, I knew
that stealer of my heart that's true.

My broken heart dies crying now,
Those acid cuts are deep and how,
As these tears won't ease this refrain.
No wallowing will kill my pain.

It's clear he has no use for you,
he just wants me to play the fool.

I will not give up this battle,
a nowhere drive to hell or Seattle.
I will take this demon's penalty
to fight for you and set us free.

Please trust my call and soulful plea,
he'll not get the better of me.
I'm raging down that greasy road
to slay that dark shadowy foe.

It's clear he has no use for you,
he just wants me to play the fool.

My faith in you will never depart,
nor break my determined heart.
love could not be driven stronger,
I'll get you back, that I hunger.

Don't give up baby, I believe
that Evil is no match you see.
I'll fight for you and set us free,
he'll not get the better of me

He's turning on the evil, see
Just you hold on baby, wait for me.
Just you hold on baby, wait for me.
Just you hold on baby, wait for me.

It's clear he has no use for you,
he just wants me to play the fool.
Just you hold on baby, wait for me.
Just you hold on baby, wait for me.
