Jaime Leopold Hellbent lyrics

From a very young age he put the law on his back page
Swore chapter and verse said it was his daddy's, daddy's curse
“Runs in the family” he'd like to say, and run it did like a river in May

He did his gas station at 11, by 20 was bunkin' in the old state pen
That's where he got the handle they called him lil' ol' Hell Bent
Did a nickel standing on his head and when he bounced he said they'll never catch me again

Cho:
Hell yeah…Hell Bent! That's what they called him
Hell bent that's what they'd say
When they seen him on the news two states away
They'd say there's ol' Hell Bent, there's ol' Hell Bent he's back at it again

Larger than life, bigger than death
Flying down the highway flat out hell bent

This went on for years at a time and his legend grew like sweet grapes on the vine
He reminded them all of old west heroes like Jesse James and the Tombstone boys,
He'd rob a bank but never hurt a fly, take off a liquor store then buy a round for the guys

Hell yeah…Hell Bent!

That's what they called him
Hell bent that's what they'd say
When they seen him on the news two states away
They'd say there's ol' Hell Bent…he's back at it again

But all crazy things in this, crazy crazy world come to an end
Yeah, people were sort of sorry to see him go even those he'd robbed felt a little low
‘Cause when a force of nature goes down, life's just a little duller all the way around

Hell yeah… Hell bent!
Hell Bent that's what they called him
Hell bent ‘til his dying day
When St. Peter saw him waiting at the Pearly Gates
He said there's ol' hell bent,
There's ol' hell bent he'll be back at again

Larger than life, bigger than death
Flying down the highway flat out hell bent
Hell yeah… Hell bent!
