Crash diet of reds n' ludes
A shot of vitamin C and a bottle of booze
Too stupid to live with nothin' to lose
In your one track mind now
Where's that leave you?
Drink n' drive white lightning faster baby
Takin' your last ride
Now better be so careful or you'll be dead before your time
Sorry you took mother's car now
Tears in my eyes, baby please don't go
You bet one too many, had one for the road
Fresh from detox, fresh from jail
Took your rehabilitation and you drove me to hell
Drink n' drive white lightning faster
Takin' your last ride, yeah
Better be so careful or you'll be dead before your time
Sorry you took mother's car now
Too soon, you thought you didn't mean it
Too late for the pressure and strain
Too bad for those who don't believe it
Ruby Street still calls your name
Itchy trigger finger and the race to be alive
Smokin' a cig while you drink n' drive
With no control in your life ahead
You're never gonna see it if you wind up dead
Drink n' drive white lightning faster
Takin' your last ride
Better be so careful or you'll be dead before your time
Drink n' drive white lightning baby
It's always on your mind
Push it to the limits baby, do it one more time
Break it down
Break it down
Somethin's changin',
Somethin's breakin',
You gotta be a brother, 'cos your family
Oh make it one more time oh make it
Sweet mystery
Ooooh
If you don't care about yourself
Would you please leave me alive
Ooooh...You gonna
You gonna drink n' drive
Ooooohhh, yeeeeaaaah
A shot of vitamin C and a bottle of booze
Too stupid to live with nothin' to lose
In your one track mind now
Where's that leave you?
Drink n' drive white lightning faster baby
Takin' your last ride
Now better be so careful or you'll be dead before your time
Sorry you took mother's car now
Tears in my eyes, baby please don't go
You bet one too many, had one for the road
Fresh from detox, fresh from jail
Took your rehabilitation and you drove me to hell
Drink n' drive white lightning faster
Takin' your last ride, yeah
Better be so careful or you'll be dead before your time
Sorry you took mother's car now
Too soon, you thought you didn't mean it
Too late for the pressure and strain
Too bad for those who don't believe it
Ruby Street still calls your name
Itchy trigger finger and the race to be alive
Smokin' a cig while you drink n' drive
With no control in your life ahead
You're never gonna see it if you wind up dead
Drink n' drive white lightning faster
Takin' your last ride
Better be so careful or you'll be dead before your time
Drink n' drive white lightning baby
It's always on your mind
Push it to the limits baby, do it one more time
Break it down
Break it down
Somethin's changin',
Somethin's breakin',
You gotta be a brother, 'cos your family
Oh make it one more time oh make it
Sweet mystery
Ooooh
If you don't care about yourself
Would you please leave me alive
Ooooh...You gonna
You gonna drink n' drive
Ooooohhh, yeeeeaaaah

It was actually written in 1990. I wish it would have went on the Illusion albums also, when they were released in 1991. They probably never even recorded a studio version, you would think it would have leaked.
In the lyrics does he say "strain" or "pain"?? Also, I think the lines: "You gotta be a brother, 'cos your family Oh make it one more time oh make it Sweet mystery" actually are.. "You gotta be a brother, LOVE your family DO it one more time..oh make it sweet HISTORY"
