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
on'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
on'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-
