Capo 2
[Intro]
C G D G Gsus G
[Verse]
G C G
Well there's a w***e house on the bad side down in New Orleans,
C G A D
One girl got my money, the other got my shirt and jeans.
G C G
Hell, I'm lucky if I dont get herpes, they even took my stash.
C G
I'd like to put a thousand miles between me and Louisiana,
D G
But I just dont have the cash.
[Chorus]
C G D G
I should have listened to momma, she said: son before you go,
C G
If you ride that Devil's Highway,
D G C G D G Gsus G
You better believe you're gonna pay the toll.
[Verse]
G C G
So this piston poundin' fool just got back down the road,
C G A D
I got halfway to Daytona before my panhead motor blowed.
G C G
Hell, I lost my shirt again, it cost me damn near everything to fix my ride.
C G
I just hope it cold down in Florida,
D G
'Cause all I got is my Harley and my hide.
[Chorus]
C G D G
I should have listened to momma, she said: son before you go,
C G
If you ride that Devil's Highway,
D G C G D G Gsus G Gsus G Gsus G
You better believe you're gonna pay the toll.
[Verse]
G C G
So I motored on back up to Baltimore, froze my ass off along the way,
C G A D
I called up my ex old lady, you know I needed a place to stay.
G C G
But she said she'd found a new love he's the kind of guy i'm sure you'd like,
C G
He's got a punk rock hair do, parachute pants,
D G
And he rides a Japanese bike.
[Chorus/Outro]
C G D G
I should have listened to momma, she said: son before you go,
C G
If you ride that Devil's Highway,
D G
You better believe you're gonna pay the toll.
That's right,
C G D G
I should have listened to momma, she said: son before you go,
C G
If you ride that Devils Highway,
D G
You better believe your gonna pay the toll.
