Driving the highway with nothing to do

Future fading away

The stereo is pumping Metallica tunes

Ride the lightning, oh yeah

The car might be stolen,my clothes smell like dirt

Born to ramble and play

Play with fire, drunk and denial

Always in for a fight



I've been in the dark side (of) town

They are bringing me in

They called me The Wild Rover of Hell

I'm fighting for nickels and a dime,

for the rules I always break

See the blood I've split, I'll still be the haunted



Stitching my wounds like Rambo, for fanden

Damage complete and done

Some had better and some had worse

Walk a mile in quicksand

Spending the last bucks on whiskey and beers

Oh how clever I am

The dice keeps on tumbling, my will still unbroken

But how long will it last



I've been in the dark side (of) town

They are bringing me in

They called me The Wild Rover of Hell

I'm fighting for nickels and a dime,

for the rules I always break

See the blood I've split, I'll still be the haunted



I'm fighting them all big or small, my friend

Just show me the dollars

I end up losing it all again

Repeating the story



Driving the highway with nothing to do

Future fading away

The stereo is pumping Metallica tunes

Ride the lightning, oh yeah

The car might be stolen,my clothes smell like dirt

Born to ramble and play

Play with fire, drunk and denial

Always in for a fight



I've been in the dark side (of) town

They are bringing me in

They called me The Wild Rover of Hell

I'm fighting for nickels and a dime,

for the rules I always break

See the blood I've split, I'll still be the haunted
