It was a quarter to one and they were looking for fun just roving like a pack of dogs

Three men staring in the face of evil while the rest world is sawing logs

One man packing a switchblade

The other one nursing the Night Train

And the man that was driving, they called him Smokestack Lightning and he claimed he was the Devil's son

Come on now

Last ride on Devil's Elbow Bridge

They pulled up to the station, the jockey stepped out and man he couldn't believe his eyes

It was a 71 Newport about 30 feet long with flames painted up the side

He said"hey Mister, that's a real big car, just how many gallons per mile"

Man said" I don't know son cause the gauge done broke, I just fill it when I'm feeling wild but that trunk fits 21 bodies and that backseat has made a lot of young ladies mommy's" and then he smiled

Yeah he smiled

Last ride on Devil's Elbow Bridge

Last ride on Devil's Elbow

And the cops picked up the scent at about just Goshen Line

And when Lightning got him a review glimpse

He let that car unwind yeah!

Well the local boys they don't like strangers especially the kind that run

And they'd have chased that car all the way to the sunrise but the Dodge would never seen one

Corralled them into Plugtown line where You know there's no way out

That's when the cops slammed on the breaks and Lightning put the hammer down

He gave the Newport all it worth

And he thought he found freedom as he headed for Perth

But the law had plans to kill them

Because the bridge was out and nobody tell them

It was the last ride

The last ride yeah

Last ride on Devil's Elbow Bridge

Last ride on Devils Elbow
