Drivin' fast to live
Not to know
I got my 44
I'm tearin' up the asphalt
Drivin'
My engine just can't take much more
Tryin' to be the one(I have no idea on this one)
I got to beat you down
I gotta lead the pack
When you know I got my gun(drop my guard?)
You know I'm havin' fun
I'm gonna make it back
Gonna hunt you down with my 44
I got my pedal to the floor
Dontcha mess around with my 44
You see me comin' down the line
With my CG's open wide
Well I pull my hammer back
You better write that check
Let my bullets fly
Take a little drink now give it to me
My 44
Get in my seat
Then I hit the line
I see you in my sight
You know I'm gonna take another life
Gonna hunt you down with my 44
I got my pedal to the floor
Don't mess around with my 44
Gonna hunt you down with my 44
I got my pedal to the floor
Don't mess around with my 44
Gonna hunt you down
Said hunt you down
Gonna hunt you down with my 44
Got my pedal to the floor
Dontcha fuckin' mess around

I love this song mainly because it's accelerated punk to make it sound like hard rock. I could never make out much of what he is saying, and these lyrics dont help me much.
he's just talking about road rage in a dark way. pullin out a gun and takin people out while he's drivin down the road.... so it's not really ironic at all.
Regardless of how Lynn passed away, the pulling out of the .44 is a metaphor for the driver's steel cage of death, used to drive recklessly despite the dire consequences, or the lack of consideration for others. Hence, the title "Joyride".

wow fucking brutal and not in a good way. i love this song but how he died is just sad.
Awesome song, but it becomes a funny aneurism moment when you consider how Strait died...
The lyrics to this song have a sort of sick irony after the death of Lynn Strait. For those of you who don't know - he was killed by a drunk driver
"Take a little drink now give it to me .... Get in my seat Then I hit the line I see you in my sight You know I'm gonna take another life"
It's almost as if he were singing about what was going to happen. Creepy....
He was not killed by a drunk driver. He was struck by a train when his car stalled on the tracks, his dog died with him as well.
