about

A day of disc golf became a night of fear
When a dark soul from the Shave's past suddenly re-appeared

lyrics

Late one afternoon, Shark and Dave had time to kill
They called a couple buddies and headed out to Rich Man’s Hill
The sun was shining brightly, the wind blew through the trees
But none of them had thought to say goodbye to their families

Shark flexed up his muscles and gave the disc a mighty hurl
But he must have been distracted by that pretty-tittied girl
He searched the woods intently for a disc he’d never find
When a half-face, bearded homeless man approached him from behind

There’s a man on the highway
Surrounded by fear
Speeding from the demons that are dancing in the mirror

There’s a man on the highway
He’s searchin’ for sin
The angel on his shoulder knows the devil is gonna win

While Shark was out exploring, the game continued on
Tammy tapped a pine tree while adjusting the back of her thong
The boys enjoyed the sight of Tammy as she walked away
When Donnie started drooling, Tammy turned around and winked at Dave

She searched the woods intently, then stopped to take a leak
But it wasn’t Donnie Dimyoit who crept up to take a peak
She screamed out to the heavens as she made her final spill
No one would see Tammy ever come down from the hill

There’s a man on the highway
Surrounded by fear
Speeding from the demons that are dancing in the mirror

There’s a man on the highway
He’s searchin’ for sin
The angel on his shoulder knows the devil is gonna win

The devil's gonna win

Night time on the hillside, everyone but Dave was gone
It suddenly occurred to him that maybe, something was wrong
He knew the silent stalker would be hungry for one more
The stranger that approached him was a man he had seen before

Dave shook off the hobo like a werewolf with a flea
When he tripped and fell like a lady, he found the Shark tied to a tree
The bearded man was gaining as the boys ran for their lives
When a rider on the highway ran the hobo over twice

There’s a man on the highway
Surrounded by fear
Speeding from the demons that are dancing in the mirror

There’s a man on the highway
He’s searchin’ for sin
The angel on his shoulder knows the devil is gonna win
