Call Collect

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to drive here fast with the devil on hold

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to call collect, now I'm gone

I met him by the shoulder

Of a dark and winding road

I stripped him of his money

It was a pretty heavy load

It was a goal indeed, yeah

So damn nice of me

But he retaliated

And I tried to break free

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to drive here fast with the devil on hold

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to call collect, now I'm gone

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to drive here fast with the devil on hold

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to call collect, now I'm gone

I saw them by the river

Dealing dimes and dough

I imitated sirens

And I ran away with all

I put it by the station

Waiting for the boom

But still no sign of freedom

Still no sign of doom

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to drive here fast with the devil on hold

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to call collect, now I'm gone

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to drive here fast with the devil on hold

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to call collect, now I'm gone

I'm going to see if I can break away

From the stones that drag me down

I hide my shame by the forsaken roads

You got to let 'em know

That no one's gonna save your sorry ass

I'm going to see if someone else

Is crawling down here tonight

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to drive here fast with the devil on hold

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to call collect, now I'm gone

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to drive here fast with the devil on hold

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to call collect, now I'm gone

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to drive here fast with the devil on hold

Oh boy, shoot me down cold

I had to call collect, now I'm gone

I had to call collect, now I'm gone

I had to call collect, now I'm gone
