[Verse 1]
Hot Chevy on a Friday night
And the sweat drips down my spine
I put an axe in my baby’s head
I'm gonna end up doin' time

[Chorus]
She looked so good in red
American nightmare running scared

[Verse 2]
I shouldn't oughta done it
I shouldn't oughta cared
I shouldn't ought, hey-hey

[Chorus]
I had to split your head
American nightmare running scared

[Bridge]
I'm heading down the highway
Sign has three inverted nines
Oh, the law won't get me but the devil will
Not without a fight

[Chorus]
This highway never ends, I said
American nightmare running scared
American nightmare running scared
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, heading down the highway
Oh, hell, inverted nines
Oh, the law won't get me but the devil will
Oh, not without a fight

[Chorus]
This highway never fucking ends
American nightmare running scared
American nightmare a-running scared
