The night was black as the cold nights of Satan,
and I was driving back home
some kinda beast ran in front of my car
so I swerved and ran into the trees
the pain of the glass and the taste of my blood
put my poor soul right to sleep
I guess I got lost on the way
I guess I got lost on the way

If I wasn't here now, I'd be there with you
laughin' at the dead
but I got to tell you, dyin' aint as funny
as you said it would be
and show you just how it feels
I guess I got lost on the way
I guess I got lost on the way

The beast is here now, scratchin' the door
don't he know I saved it's poor life
or maybe he knows but he don't seem to care,
it don't look like he's eaten for years
I can see smoke and feel the hot fire
it looks like this car's about to blow
and I guess I got lost on the way
and I guess I got lost on the way
I guess I got lost on the way
