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 tellin' 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 you 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 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 you to carry life's load
Don't you let it pass you by, down on Dead Man's Road"
Look out[Incomprehensible]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 tellin' me to carry on and 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 you 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 you to carry life's load
Don't you let it pass you by, down on Dead Man's Road"
