The Party's Good On The Road To Hell Lyrics - Singles - Marc Blackwell

She said she knew the way, I was just 16 

She flipped me her car keys, then taught me everything 

Sneaking into bars, palming cards and poker bluffs 

How to outrun the law while picking her handcuffs 

Deep sea treasure hunting, laundering gold doubloons 

Celebrating with good rum under a Caribbean moon 

Charming both the princess and her mom the queen 

In our Vegas penthouse, rich from roulette schemes 

She said 

"You can't lay low if you wanna live high 

You gotta play all your cards before you die 

It's boring being safe, can't stay in one place 

Got too many demons out there giving chase 

Now some hands won't win, some cons go bust 

We'll only get so close, it won't be love 

There'll be some regret, some secrets you can't tell 

But the party's good on the road to hell" 

She found us the best fun, frat house to royal ball 

New Orleans Mardi Gras, Brazil for Carnival 

I was her James Bond, martini, caviar 

Cruising at one-forty, chilling in her black Jaguar 

We hosted kings and mafia, played golf with Presidents 

Ran naked with the bulls, sang with Bono and The Edge 

Walked down that red carpet with Johnny Depp in tow 

We flew F-16s and rockets as far as they could go 

She said 

"You can't lay low if you wanna live high 

You gotta play all your cards before you die 

It's boring being safe, can't stay in one place 

Got too many demons out there giving chase 

Now some hands won't win, some cons go bust 

We'll only get so close, it won't be love 

There'll be some regret, some secrets you can't tell 

But the party's good on the road to hell" 

My sister's boy came to me for advice 

And I could see adventure in his eyes 

He was just like me at that age 

So I sat him down and I gave it to him straight 

I said 

"You can't lay low if you wanna live high 

You gotta play all your cards before you die 

It's boring being safe, don't stay in one place 

Got too many demons out there giving chase 

Now some hands won't win, some cons go bust 

You'll only get so close, you won't find love 

There'll be some regret, some secrets you can't tell 

But the party's good on the road to hell 

Oh yeah the party's good on the road to hell" 

"My girl was good at everything and she knew where that road went 

But the one thing she couldn't do was get off before the end 

So promise me this .. Even if she begs you to stay 

When you see that last exit, don't you hesitate 

When you see that last exit, don't you hesitate"
