Lyrics
Stay Away
Stay Away
Mine Torne Road
I heard for the first time when I was only eight years old
About a ghost called white man and the terror took hold
I was busy eating my apple pie a la mode
But I knew enough to stay away from Mine Torne Road
Out in Fort Montgomery there's a lonely stretch of road
They say there lives a hermit a fact most people know
And although no one's ever seen him the stories only seem to grow
But I know enough to stay away from Mine Torne Road
Now he's not the Jersey devil
But between me and you
I heard he runs sixty miles an hour
In just his tennis shoes
My sister used to scare me with the tales she'd tell
About the ghost of white man and the way he'd raise hell
Yeah he's caused a couple accidents the case is still unsolved
But authorities suspect that some drinking's involved
He's not the Jersey devil
But between me and you
I heard he runs sixty miles an hour
In just his tennis shoes
