Dead Man's Road
When I was young
Old man sat me on his knee
He told me if I had a dream
I could be what I wanna be
Now life goes on
A voice echoes in the wind
It's telling me to carry on
Now I know that it's him
He said
Whoa, watch out, boy
Don't go messin' with your life
'Cause it ain't no toy
Lord help ya to carry life's load
It could all pass you by down
On dead man's road
Now I got a good woman
You know she's lookin' out for me
And if I get a little blind
You know she helps me to see
But I gotta keep a runnin'
'Cause they're catchin' up to me
I think I hear that voice again
This time it says to me
He said
Whoa, watch out, boy
Don't go messin' with your life
'Cause it ain't no toy
Lord help ya to carry life's load
Don't you let it pass you by down
On Dead Man's Road
Look out
When I was young
Old man sat me on his knee
He told me if I had a dream
I could be what I wanna be
Now life goes on
A voice echoes in the wind
It's telling me to carry on
Now I know that it's him
He said
Whoa, watch out boy
Don't go messin' with your life
'Cause it ain't no toy
Lord help ya to carry life's load
Don't you let it pass you by down
On dead man's road
Whoa, watch out boy
Don't go messin' with your life
'Cause it ain't no toy
Lord help ya to carry life's load
Don't you let it pass you by down
On dead man's road
