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
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
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 ya' let it pass you by down on Dead Man′s road
