Hell Bound for Lynchburg
[Verse 1]
I love me a good buck knife unless I find it in my back
It’s the ones we don’t see comin’ cause we never smell the rat
They say it’s righteous to forgive, right now I’m work’n on forget
Headed for a place where I might give my soul a rest
I’m hell bound for Lynchburg, Lynchburg Tennessee
[Chorus]
If hard days make you stronger than I’m 100 proof by now
And if bad choices sow those seeds then I surely drove the plough
I’m hell bound for Lynchburg, Lynchburg, Lynchburg Tennessee
[Verse 2]
It’s such a hallowed place where my life can be distilled
Got a friend named Jack who lives there and my glass is always filled
It’s time I paid a visit, that road is call’n me
I’m maybe not where I intended but it’s where I’m meant to be
I’m hell bound for Lynchburg, Lynchburg Tennessee
[Chorus]
If hard days make you stronger than I’m 100 proof by now
And if bad choices sow those seeds then I surely drove the plough
I’m hell bound for Lynchburg, Lynchburg, Lynchburg Tennessee
[Verse 3]
Just need a little time down there so I can work things out
I haven't been a saint of late of that there's little doubt
I’m hoping I see a way to find my better self
Maybe come tomorrow I can climb out of this hell
Road trip time for Lynchburg, Lynchburg Tennessee
[Altro]
Don’t plan to stay forever but Jack says stay as long as you like
Don’t want to overstay my welcome, but I may just spend the night
If hard days make you stronger than I’m 100 proof by now
And if bad choices sow those seeds then I surely drove the plough
I’m hell bound for Lynchburg, Lynchburg, Lynchburg Tennessee

Good sound. Lots of people might really like it and relate to the idea if not in reality of that town. We’ve all used things to cope and process so there’s that audience.
