[Verse 1]
Snake eyes rolling down a diamondback heart
It ain't a good roll but a place to start
She wasn’t the best and I wasn't the worst
If true love was water, we'd have died of thirst
Coiled in the backseat ready to strike
Love bites deep in the middle of the night
Out on rattlesnake road, yeah

[Verse 2]
I’m a full moon fool when the moon comes up
We're drinkin' whiskey straight from a dixie cup
I got the top laid back and the lights turned out
We're gonna find out soon what it's all about
Love is a poison, passion's a sin
Straight to your heart when the fangs sink in
Out on rattlesnake road

[Chorus]
Twistin' and turnin', outta control
Rattlesnake road won’t let go
We’re too young to quit, too old to try
I'd sell my soul for one more ride
Out on rattlesnake road
Oh you take that
[Guitar solos]

[Verse 3]
In most states what we did was a crime
She was sixteen, goin’ on twenty nine
Yeah, she shook me up and she rattled my chain
As she wet me down like a driving rain
Out on rattlesnake road

[Chorus]
Twistin' and turnin', outta control
Rattlesnake road won't let go
We’re too young to quit, too old to try
I'd sell my soul for one more ride
Out on rattlesnake road
Oh yeah, rattlesnake road
Here they come

[Guitar solos]
