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 echos in the wind It's telling me to carry on, now I know that it's him -chorus- 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 Ya know she's looking out for me And if I get a little blind ya know she helps me to see But I gotta keep runnin' because they're catching up to me I think I hear that voice again, this time it says to me -chorus- 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 -instrumental- 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 echos in the wind It's telling me to carry on now I know that it's him -chorus- 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 -repeat chorus-
