The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash 440 Horses

Four hundred forty horses
Driving wheels of this chrome and steel
Like a freight train through the night
My pony’s lead and my eyes blood red
My knuckles showing white
My hair is slick with oil
And my breath blows gasoline
Well I’m a smokin, flaming death machine
And the lonely lights of another lonely time
Lonely highway, I keep on rushing down
There’s a hundred miles until I sleep tonight
Well I got to put the hammer down

If Purgatory angels sat upon my left side
With the devil on my right
Black as coal, black is my soul
I ride on through the night
Into the waiting arms
Of my cryin’ blushing bride
Too fast to live but too young to die

And the lonely lights of another lonely time
Lonely highway
I keep on rushin’ down
And there’s a hundred miles until I sleep tonight
Well I got to put the hammer down
Four hundred forty horses
Drive the wheels of this chrome and steel
Like a freight train through the night
My pony’s lead and my eyes blood red
My knuckles showing white
My hair is slick with oil
And my breath blows gasoline
Well I’m a smokin, flaming death machine
And the lonely lights of another lonely time
Lonely highway
I keep on rushing on
And there’s a hundred miles until I sleep tonight
Well I got to put the hammer down
Put the hammer down
Put the hammer down
Put the hammer down
There’s a hundred miles, til I sleep tonight
Put the hammer down
