Poison in My Veins Lyrics:
When I was young i watched them stunts & thought that I could fly -
Robert Craig Knievel looked like Elvis on a bike
tween Montana and Nevada there's the Ol' snake river canyon
He crashed at Ceaser's palace fore that Magic valley rambling

The odds were stacked agist him- would Evel live or die?
15,000 people went see him touch the sky
Success the only option - for less there's no excuse
he'd been alone 400 bones would break before he's through

Lord they ain't sure if I'll walk again, but soon enough he'll ride
& heaven knows that swollen sinner surely ain't afraid to die
Every stitch on every scar was earned .. he stumbled with that cane
but he's back in the saddle today he rides again

still the bookies down in Vegas got the money and the clout
nobody's gonna make a deal and try to cut ol' Evel out
He gonna fly that x2 rocket for at least a quarter mile
He jump across the Canyon - clear to the other side
and he was Evel, Evil was his name
yes he was Evel, Evel just the same

on the day Ford pardoned Nixon- was there day he could not win
Fear & doubt are deadly a dare devils mortal sins
Like the series or the Super Bowl you'll never live it down
Put a stuntman cross the canyon bigger than the triple crown

chorus

Lord I ain't got no time now for worrying bout death
i got poison in my veins and that canyon up a head
It's Rocky, deep and wide a quarter mile to the other side
if you pull that dead man's lever- never made it cross alive
…. a quarter mile up in the sky

solo

If you don't drown or hit the ground- them rattle snake might get you
the wind could send you sideways- once you fire that rocket engine
if that motor blows, the chute don't go, they sent you off to slaughter
or you crash and burn you'll wind up way down in them raging waters

had evil hit the river he surely would have drowned
he nearly cleared the canyon but them high winds took him down
the chute come out to early Robert Truax took the blame
now his sun won't stop until he clears his daddy name


That ol' snake River Canyon no ones make is cross alive
Who's gonna ride that ol sky cycle cross & take the devils pride

Like Hogan gainst the Giant or Frazier and Ali
who's gonna take ol Evel's Sprit cross on national TV
people said that's crazy man, it never would be done
Eddie Braun vs. Beckley like a fox out on the run

They say he's Evel.. Evel just the same..

It's Rocky, deep and wide even longer than Kneviel's quarter mile
if you pull that dead man's lever- never made it cross alive
longer than that Evel quarter mile
Son there ain't no time to worry bout your death
i got poison in my veins and that canyon up a head

on the 7th of September two thousand and 14
it's judgement day for 2 men.. and a good day for the league
a dead mans waiting for the day his soul can be released
mortal men have broken bones & The doctor took his spleen

To fly across the canyon would set his spirit free
His dreams will be answered in that final victory..

Lord I ain't got no time now for worrying bout death
i got poison in my veins and that canyon up a head
We've waited 40 years to see this feet
just to set the kindred spirit of an ol' daredevil free
