Lyrics:

She fell in love with his greasy machine
She leaned over wiped his
kickstart clean
She'd never seen the beast before
But she left there wanting
more more more
But when she was walking on
down the road
She heard a sound that made
her heart explode
He whispered to her to get on the back
"I'll take you on a ride
from here to eternity"

Chorus:
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity

She must be having one of her
crazy dreams
She'd never sat on a piece so mean
It made her feel like's she's on cloud nine
She even thought she heard the
engine sigh
But like all dreams that come to an end
They took a tumble at the devil's bend
The beast and Charlotte they were
two of a kind
They'd always take the line...
from here to eternity
