Charlie was a driver and he hardly spent a night at home 

He never saw his family, trucking loads those long weeks on the road, oh

And Charlie would drive (And Charlie would drive)

For miles and miles (For miles and miles)

Alone, whoa



Charlie had a teenage daughter he thought of as a little girl 

But one day he came home his little girl had grown-up news to tell 

Oh Daddy, she cried (Oh Daddy, she cried)

Oh Daddy, I tried (Oh Daddy, I tried)

But on the hayride how I fell 

That was a hayride bound for Hell. 



Now Billy Jackson was the father but he wasn't man enough to own 

And his daddy was the mayor who told Charlie

Don't you leave my Billy-boy alone?

Billy had to hide (Billy had to hide)

There was guilt inside (There was guilt inside)

And you can't hide from yourself 

That's just a hayride bound for Hell (Hell)



Charlie's daughter died whilst giving birth to Billy Jackson's child 

And Billy Jackson ain't been seen around these parts for quite a while 



And Charlie would drive (And Charlie would drive)

For miles and miles (For miles and miles)

And his tail-lights say farewell 

Just like a hayride bound for...

And his tail-lights said say farewell 

He's a hayride bound for Hell

Bound for Hell (Hell)

He's Bound For Hell
