Hard Road - Gurf Morlix

I set out on my own, look out here I come

whatever there might be, I was gonna get me some

pure gunpowder, I was ready to explode

the fuse was lit, I was out on the hard road

with the pedal pressed down hard, I jammed it in fifth gear

as long as I had fuel, I could drive on out of here

following my engine, wherever it might go

tearin' up the tar, screamin' down the hard road

I learned that what I wanted, lay beyond where I could see

sometimes it seems like findin' it, 's about as tough as it might be

pushin' so hard, my desperation showed

thinkin' 'bout all the time, I was burnin' on the hard road

I stopped in for water, I was runnin' a little hot

topped off the radiator, bought me a double shot

I asked how far, to where I might unload

before the laughin' stopped, I was back out on the hard road

I never thought about it, I never once looked back

I wasn’t scared of nothin', out ahead of the thunder crack

but somethin' was chasin' me, and it wouldn’t be slowed

comin' up fast behind me, high beams on the hard road

now you could buy a map, you could draw a line

calculate your mileage, estimate your time

but you come to a river, and the river’s overflowed

spinnin' your wheels, doin' time on the hard road

now I’m lyin' in some bed, prayin' I might die

no one can hear me, hard as I try

don’t know how I got here, suspect that I was towed

got no memory at all, of comin' in from the hard road

time has stalled, nothin’s movin' at all

I know what’s happening, I hear the voices in the hall

I almost made it, to the final episode

just had a couple more miles to go, down the hard road

I learned everything I know, on the hard road

someone have mercy on my soul, take me out to the hard road
