Lyrics
Come ride with me, darlin'
Leave the city behind
Till the wild desert mountain
Is all we can find
Have a drink from my old canteen
Help to ease my spirits low
Remember our first ride this way
Up Black Canyon Road
Black Canyon Road
Black Canyon Road
Remember our first time
Up Black Canyon Road
Well, there was me, Sue, and Johnny
We just met you that day
We left the club early
'Cause you wanted to play
We thought we were a wild crowd
With our beer and pills and boo
But we never touched the harder stuff
Till you teased us to
Black Canyon Road
Black Canyon Road
You were temptation
On Black Canyon Road
Well, that's how it started
We partied too far
You led us onward
Like a jacklighting star
We knew there'd be a price tag
But not how it'd be paid
Till Sue and Johnny got shot down
In a drug buster's raid
Black Canyon Road
Black Canyon Road
Led to destruction
On Black Canyon Road
I found Johnny dying
I got his last word
Then I searched the house down
To prove wrong what I'd heard
I hated to believe him
That you'd planned this from the start
But what I found in the toilet tank
Decided my part
Black Canyon Road
Black Canyon Road
You did your job
Out on Black Canyon Road
Now you lie so heavy
As I drag you outside
To the edge of the canyon
And over the side
And when they find your body
I know just what they'll think
Because all you planted in my house
I put in your drink
Black Canyon Road
Black Canyon Road
Die for betreyal
On Black Canyon Road
Black Canyon Road
Black Canyon Road
Die as you lived
Out on Black Canyon Road
