Lyrics

Oh, there is a place where the wild men go
When it's late at night and on the radio
They're telling everybody, stay at home
It's no time for you to be alone
It is a place on the edge of town
Just shining in a hell-fire light (they're waiting)
And if you're there, keep going on
They're waiting deep inside, I'm telling you

Don't look back, women in the red and black
Don't look back, they're going to take your heart away
I'm telling you don't look back, women in the red and black
Don't look back, they're going to steal your heart away
I should have known better;

Well jimmy pellin was a friend of mine
But he went out there one too many times
I saw him running down the railroad track
And I tell you boys he ain't coming back
The early morning is their favourite time
To find somebody out on their own (they're waiting)
They're waving arms and flashing lights
Standing out on the road, I'm telling you

Don't look back, women in the red and black
Don't look back, they're going to take your heart away
I should have known better, I should have known better

So if you're going to the edge of town
Don't lose in a hell-fire light, (they're waiting)
And if you're passing, keep going on
They're waiting there tonight, I'm begging you

Don't look back, don't look back
I beg you don't look back
Women in the red and black
Don't look back
They're going to steal your heart away

I should have known better -- don't look back
I should have known better -- don't look back
I should have known better -- don't look back
I should have known better -- don't look back
I should have known better
