Dashboard Devil

Words by Evil Elvis

[Verse 1]

Smoky glass and a coffee-stained map,

Tail lights fading where the law lost track.

Windshield cracked like a guilty heart,

Every mile I go just tears me apart.

Ain’t no preacher, ain’t no saint,

Just a sinner ridin’ where the good Lord ain’t.

[Chorus]

Got a dashboard devil and a heavy right foot,

Ain’t no angel ridin’ with me like she should.

Every red light burns like a second chance,

But I blow right through it in a gasoline trance.

Yeah, I tried to be good, but I ain’t that level —

I’m rollin’ shotgun with my dashboard devil.

[Verse 2]

Cigarette cherry in the rearview’s glow,

Talkin’ to myself like I’m talkin’ to a ghost.

Radio’s hummin’ that old heartbreak sound,

Another broken promise in another damn town.

Whiskey’s whisperin’ where the truth gets bent,

Every lie I told was heaven-sent.

[Chorus]

Got a dashboard devil and a heavy right foot,

Ain’t no angel ridin’ with me like she should.

Every red light burns like a second chance,

But I blow right through it in a gasoline trance.

Yeah, I tried to be good, but I ain’t that level —

I’m rollin’ shotgun with my dashboard devil.

[Bridge]

He smiles when I’m driftin’ on the yellow line,

Says “Son, you were born to run outta time.”

If redemption’s real, it’s a long way home,

But hell feels closer when you’re drivin’ alone.

[Final Chorus]

Got a dashboard devil and a heavy right foot,

Still no angel ridin’ with me like she should.

Every red light burns, I ain’t lookin’ back,

Just a rebel soul ridin’ down the railroad tracks.

Yeah, the good Lord’s callin’, but I lost that signal —

Still rollin’ shotgun with my dashboard devil.

[Outro]

Smoke curls slow from a Marlboro red,

Guess some demons never stay dead.
