Rough and ready rider, in a supersonic sound machine
Rock and roll survivor, chrome pipes between your knees
Running all the red lights, riding the white lines [1]
You're going to make a dead stop, but you just can't see the signs

Oh you'll never win the race
But you can't give up the chase

Death alley driver, living at high speed
Death alley driver, yeah
Death alley driver, who knows what you need
Death alley driver

One hundred twenty five, smoking on the turns
Always on the hit and run, but you never learn
Running from the man, and you're running from yourself
Another dirty angel, heading straight to hell

Oh you'll never win the race
But you won't give up the chase

Death alley driver, live in overdrive
Death alley driver, yeah
Death alley driver, ride to stay alive
Death alley driver, let's go

Red lights in the mirror, danger on the bend
Got to take a detour 'cause a road block's up ahead
He takes you on the corner with a wave of his hand
Death is in the back seat of a big old black sedan

Oh you'll never win the race
As you turn and see his face

Death alley driver, moving for the kill
Death alley driver, yeah
Death alley driver, time is standing still
Death alley driver, always on the run 'cause you're a
Death alley driver, Love the way it feels
Death alley driver, yeah
Death alley driver, hell on wheels
Death alley driver, ooh
