HAND ON ST. CHRISTOPHER Lyrics

(Tom Waits)

Hang on St. Christopher 

Through the smoke and the oil 

Pumpin' iron around the scene 

Let the radiator boil 

Got no back down shift 

And a two dollar grill 

Got an '85 cab 

...... 

*Hang on St. Christopher 

On the passenger side 

Open it up tonight 

So the devil can ride 

Hang on St. Christopher 

With a ballast door 

Kick me up ... 

Throw me out in the fog 

Tell ... Jack ... 

Drive a stake through his heart 

Do a hundred on the grapevine 

Do a jump on the start 

Hang on St. Christopher 

Now don't let me go 

Get me to Reno 

And bring it in low, low 

Hang On St. Christopher 

With the hammer to the floor 

Put a highball in the crankcase 

Nail a crow to the door 

Give me a bottle for the jockey 

Give me a two ... 

There's a certain ... 

Bustin' down Johnny's door 

(*Repeat) 

Let the devil ride 

Let the devil ride 

Let the devil ride 

Hang On St. Christopher 

Now don't let me go 

Get me to Reno 

Got to bring it in low 

Put my baby on a flatcar 

Tell 'em to burn down the caboose 

Get 'em all jacked up with whiskey 

And we'll turn the mad dog loose 

(*Repeat) 

Let him ride, let him ride 

Let him ride, let him ride 

Let him ride, let him ride 

HAng on St. Christopher 

Through the smoke and the oil 

Get me to Reno 

And bring it in low, low ...
