(Tom Waits)



Hang on St. Christopher

Through the smoke and the oil

Pumpin' iron around the scene

Let the radiator boil

Got no back down shift

And a two dollar grill

Got an '85 cab

......



*Hang on St. Christopher

On the passenger side

Open it up tonight

So the devil can ride



Hang on St. Christopher

With a ballast door

Kick me up ...

Throw me out in the fog

Tell ... Jack ...

Drive a stake through his heart

Do a hundred on the grapevine

Do a jump on the start



Hang on St. Christopher

Now don't let me go

Get me to Reno

And bring it in low, low



Hang On St. Christopher

With the hammer to the floor

Put a highball in the crankcase

Nail a crow to the door

Give me a bottle for the jockey

Give me a two ...

There's a certain ...

Bustin' down Johnny's door



(*Repeat)



Let the devil ride

Let the devil ride

Let the devil ride



Hang On St. Christopher

Now don't let me go

Get me to Reno

Got to bring it in low

Put my baby on a flatcar

Tell 'em to burn down the caboose

Get 'em all jacked up with whiskey

And we'll turn the mad dog loose



(*Repeat)



Let him ride, let him ride

Let him ride, let him ride

Let him ride, let him ride



HAng on St. Christopher

Through the smoke and the oil

Get me to Reno

And bring it in low, low ...
