threw a sto[G]ne and he kn[Am]eeled
And he lo[C]oked down [G]at the w[Am]ater

may we a[F]ll get to he[C]aven
before the de[G]vil knows were d[Am]ead.

[Am]Well it was tw[C]enty af[G]ter mid[Am]night.
And they were go[C]ing ei[G]ghty f[Am]ive

just a t[C]wo lane pi[G]ece of bl[Am]acktop
a sna[C]key str[G]etch of [Am]road.
well the wi[F]nd blew through the wi[C]ng vents

well the dri[F]ver killed the hea[C]dlights
and he p[G]ut the throttle d[Am]own.
when they h[F]it the railroad cro[C]ssin
they were fi[G]ve feet off the gro[Am]und
just a scr[C]eamin thr[G]ough the mi[Am]dnight
[Am]till they came down again
when the fr[F]ont tire hit the b[C]ar-ditch
they went e[G]nd over [Am]end
chorus:
Well r[F]aise another ro[C]und boys
and ha[G]ve another gl[Am]ass

knowing i[G]t will never l[Am]ast
and lets le[F]ave the world lau[C]ghing
when our eu[G]logies are r[Am]ead
may we al[F]l get to hea[C]ven
before the de[G]vil knows were d[Am]ead
may we a[F]ll get to he[C]aven
before the de[G]vil knows were d[Am]ead.
