Good Intentions

A man rolled up
18 wheels of truck
Suzy stood by the side of the road
Twenty years old
Wet and cold
A little down on her luck
Can I drive you home
He said darling can I drive you home

She climbed right in
And with a sideways grin
He touched her leg as he locked her door
Said I drive these roads
Been a thousand loads
I ain't never seen you before
What's your name
He said sweetheart what's your name

CHORUS
No matter good intentions
It always ends the same

She looked straight ahead
As she quietly said
My friends all call me Sue
But truth be told
If I can be so bold
There's something I don't like about you
Don't think I'll stay
Think I'll just be on my way

He said don't be shy
I'm a really nice guy
You'll see I mean you no harm
But it's been a while
And he lost that smile
Then he stroked her arm
You're a pretty thing
So young and such a pretty thing

CHORUS

When he grabbed her wrist
And he started to twist
She pulled a gun from the waist of her jeans
He put his hands in the air
He said hold on there
And then he started to plead
Can't we make a deal
Sweet girl can't we make a deal

He said what can I do
To make it right with you
Fix this terrible mistake
Take my keys
And my money please
Just tell me it's not too late
Don't take my life
Have mercy don't take my life

CHORUS

The last thing she said
Before she shot him dead
And slipped back into the rain
Was the time had past
He would be the last
Man to cause her pain
Straight to hell
Then she sent him straight to hell
