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
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
