Venom Road

Verse

I was born with a mind like a loaded gun,

Sharp as the steel in the heat of the sun.

World keeps talkin’, but I don’t give a damn,

Ain’t a soul alive that can judge this man.

I roll through towns like a ghost on fire,

Middle finger up to every liar.

Dust behind me, engines moanin’,

Freedom’s the only thing I’m holdin’.

Chorus

I’m ridin’ out on the venom road,

Where the snakes are truer than the people I’ve known.

No tears, no prayers when I’m dead and gone,

Just let the wild keep carryin’ on.

I got no fear, and I got no shame,

World tried to break me, but I beat that game.

I’ll leave it all behind where the cold winds blow,

Headin’ for peace down the venom road.

Verse

Got a fast black car and a heart gone rough,

Laugh when the world says I ain’t enough.

I’ve seen the fakes and their crooked smiles,

I’d rather walk with vipers a thousand miles.

Cause a serpent strikes true when the moment’s right,

Never pretends that it loves you at night.

People twist truths till you can’t see straight,

But a snake never lies and it never hates.

Verse

I walk through fire with a cold blank stare,

Ain’t a single damn worry hangin’ anywhere.

World screams loud but I just don’t hear,

Got a heart too wild to be chained by fear.

I laugh at the rules that they preach all day,

Flip the whole crowd off as I ride away.

No weight on my back, no shame on my tongue,

I owe this world nothing and I’m already gone.

Chorus

I’m ridin’ out on the venom road,

Where the snakes are truer than the people I’ve known.

No tears, no prayers when I’m dead and gone,

Just let the wild keep carryin’ on.

I got no fear, and I got no shame,

World tried to break me, but I beat that game.

I’ll leave it all behind where the cold winds blow,

Headin’ for peace down the venom road.

Bridge

Gonna find a country where the rivers run clean,

Where the nights are quiet and the hills stay mean.

I’ll dive deep down where the dark fish hide,

Let the ocean wash the poison from my pride.

A cabin, a fire, a coil in the grass,

Sunset slow and the storms roll past.

No crowd, no noise, no debts to pay,

Just me and the wild keepin’ time with the day.

Chorus

So I’m gone for good on that venom road,

Where the snakes are truer than the people I’ve known.

And when I fade someday in the great unknown,

Don’t shed a tear, just leave my name alone.

I lived too hard and I rode too fast,

Burned every bridge that I meant to pass.

Now I’m finally free where the peace winds blow,

Gone with the sun down the venom road.
