I thought I'd share a little ditty I posted on DeepStage just for entertainment. Hope y'all like it!!

...with apologies to Charlie Daniels.....

The devil went down to Pomona.
He was lookin' for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind, and he was willin' to make a deal,
when he came across John Force sittin' in a hot rod and drivin' it hot.
And the devil jumped up on a ol’ tool box and said, "Boy, let me tell you what.

I guess you didn't know it but I'm a drag racer, too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
Now, you drive a pretty good hot rod, boy, but give the devil his due.
I'll bet a Wally of gold against your soul, 'cause I think I'm better than you."
The boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin.
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret, 'cause I'm the best that's ever been."

Johnny, tighten up your slicks and hit your throttle hard,
'cause hell's broke loose in Pomona and the devil deals the cards.
And if you win you get this shiny Wally made of gold.
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.

The devil fired up his car and he said, "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his header pipes as he burned rubber in a row.
And he smoked the tires across the line and it made an evil hiss.
Then a crew of demons joined in and the engine roared without a miss:

When the devil finished, Johnny said, "Well, you're pretty good, old son,
but stage your car in that lane right there and let me show you how it's done.

Fire in the header pipes, tune, Coil, tune.
The devil's gonna see a holeshot real, real soon.
Scelzi in the stagin’ lanes movin' real slow.
Capps, do your tires bite? No, child, no.

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
And he laid that golden Wally on the ground at Johnny's feet.
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever want to try again.
'Cause I told you once, you son of a B****, I'm the best that's ever been."

Techrat, I think Charlie Daniels would be proud... I hope Force gets a chance to read your song. He would probably flip.:)

Bubba, I'm afraid all I'm capable of playing is the radio. Not to mention that my singing would fall under the classification of "cruel and unusual punishment" !!

I bet the producers of his show, Driving Force could get it done. I think you should pursue this.

I did send it to one of his PR people a couple months back. Never got a reply.

Send it to a producer of Driving Force and see what happens.

Maybe you can help here, Kelly. I did some searching and found that he has a profile on Nitromater. Since I'm not a member, I can't see it. Is there an address there?

That was great!
I could totally hear the music in my head while reading those lyrics.
The shuffle snare drum beat, the gnarly evil sounding bass line/devil solo....

good stuff guy.
