Rated: 13+ · Lyrics · Crime/Gangster · #1240582
In the style of George Thorogood's "Bad To The Bone" Some fact and some fiction

Castle Creek

Ridin' down to Castle Creek
lookin' for some kicks
I was cruisin' from some trouble
and chasin' down some chicks

A deadman back in Baltimore
a backroom, bar-room brawl
I'd killed him accidentally
he'd seen his one last call


[chorus]
Hear my drag pipes rumblin'
I'm a loser jumpin' bail
runnin' down the highway blues
one step ahead of jail


The runnin' ain't that easy
just missed another bust
the only place that's safe right now
is the road and diesel dust

Goin' down an old dirt path
hidin' right out loud
biker brothers are gettin' stoned
I'm blendin' with the crowd


[chorus]
Hear my drag pipes rumblin'
a loser jumpin' bail
runnin' down those highway blues
one step away from jail


The Angels were all packin' heat
the man was on patrol
his hand was on his riot stick
for use in crowd control

I saw a man they put in chains
his hair was long and black
The deputies were at his side
crowd cheering at his back


[chorus]
Runnin' down the highway blues
I hear the sirens wail
gotta open up full throttle
never goin' back to jail


It's tougher when you're on the run
and your trail's getting hot
when loneliness rolls up on you
the road is all you got

There's comfort in the handle bars
for a loser on a streak
who's lookin' for a place to hide
ridin' down to Castle Creek
