There's a madman on the road
doin' 99
There's a madman on the road
so you stay home tonight
He can smell there's trouble
waitin' round the bend
and he can smell the blood
he's waitin' for the end
He can see the headlight shinin'
comin' from behind
They're gonna shoot him down
or take him back inside
Oh Lord have mercy on a man
who's done his time
Please let him drive away
he's just like you and I
Gonna do time
run down the highway
Gonna do time
gotta keep on movin'
There's a madman on the road
runnin' from the fight
There's a madman on the road
comin' from behind
Their guns are loaded
and their bullets made of led
There's nothing to it boy
they're out to get you dead
Gotta drive on through the night
an' shake 'em off your tale
This guy ain't givin' up
he hangs on tooth and nail
Oh Lord have mercy on a man
who's done his time
Please let him drive away
he's just like you and I
Gonna do time
run down the highway
Gonna do time
gonna do it my way
Gonna do time
run down the highway
Gonna do time
gotta keep on movin'
Southbound drivin' man
Southbound drivin' man
Southbound drivin' man
There's a madman on the road
doin' 99
There's a madman on the road
so you stay home tonight
Oh Lord have mercy on a man
who's done his time
Please let him drive away
he's just like you and I
Gonna do time
gotta keep on movin'
Gonna do time
gonna do it my way
Southbound drivin' man
Southbound drivin' man
Southbound drivin' man
