She fell in love with his greasy machine She leaned over wiped his head Kick start 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" Hell ain't a bad place Hell is from here to eternity 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 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 Hell ain't a bad place Hell is from here to eternity Hell ain't a bad place Hell is from here to eternity
