lyrics

I got 23 miles of bad road between me and my baby's bed
I got a thousand ghosts on either side and they're screaming to be fed
I got a big black Ford and she'd running hot on the road to rack and ruin
I got 7 dead bodies lying in the trunk -- don't ask me what I'm doin'
This lonely stretch of highway is the worst you ever seen...
Highway 13

Night sun shines down on the road and my foot's right to the floor
It's a white line nightmare coming down, can't you hear my engine roar?
I got no morals, no regrets and I sure got no remorse
I got 7 dead bodies lying in the trunk and I aim to make it more
You better flee in terror cause I am the graveyard queen...
Highway 13

Been driving nineteen hours and I still can't catch the light
Got a demon riding shotgun heading straight into the night
If I see you hitching for a ride then you just sealed your fate
I got 7 bodies in the trunk and you're gonna make it eight
This ain't no horror movie and it sure ain't Halloween...
Highway 13

Nightmare turns apocalypse and the sky is turning red
I'm damned to drive forever on this highway of the dead
Feels like it's been a lifetime since I set upon this course
I got 8 dead bodies lying in the trunk and one of them is yours
And now you'll spend forever riding in my death machine
Highway 13
