[Verse]
               G                           C             G
Well there's a w***e house on the bad side down in New Orleans,
C                G          A                      D
 One girl got my money, the other got my shirt and jeans.
          G                                C            G
Hell, I'm lucky if I dont get herpes, they even took my stash.
            C                            G
I'd like to put a thousand miles between me and Louisiana, 
      D                  G
But I just dont have the cash.

[Chorus]
  C                       G                D              G
I should have listened to momma, she said: son before you go,
       C                 G 
If you ride that Devil's Highway, 
             D                          G    C  G  D  G  Gsus G
You better believe you're gonna pay the toll.

        G                         C                 G
So this piston poundin' fool just got back down the road,
      C             G              A             D
I got halfway to Daytona before my panhead motor blowed.
        G                                         C                    G
Hell, I lost my shirt again, it cost me damn near everything to fix my ride.
       C                    G
I just hope it cold down in Florida,
             D                             G
'Cause all I got is my Harley and my hide.

[Chorus]
  C                       G                D              G
I should have listened to momma, she said: son before you go,
       C                 G 
If you ride that Devil's Highway, 
             D                          G    C  G  D  G  Gsus G Gsus G Gsus G
You better believe you're gonna pay the toll.

     G                                         C                 G
So I motored on back up to Baltimore, froze my ass off along the way,
  C                   G                A                 D
I called up my ex old lady, you know I needed a place to stay.
        G                                    C                          G
But she said she'd found a new love he's the kind of guy i'm sure you'd like,
           C                  G
He's got a punk rock hair do, parachute pants,
       D                      G 
And he rides a Japanese bike.

[Chorus/Outro]
  C                       G                D              G
I should have listened to momma, she said: son before you go,

If you ride that Devil's Highway, 
             D                          G
You better believe you're gonna pay the toll.

That's right,
  C                       G                D              G
I should have listened to momma, she said: son before you go,
       C                G
If you ride that Devils Highway, 
             D                        G
You better believe your gonna pay the toll.
