Dead Man's Road Songtext
von Doc Holliday

I had a good friend in my hometown
Early this morning they layed him in the ground
He was my brother, I won′t tell you his name
He was a junkie for whiskey and cocaine

Oh no, he's dead and cold
Don′t go down the dead man's road
A dead man's road

I hear you′re out there sayin′, "It won't happen to me"
′Cause it feels good an that makes that so easy to believe
My friend was young and strong like everybody else
I began to understand when I got there myself


All the goodtime losers, they knew my name
Just small-time users waitin' on a train
I danced with the Devil, he tried to get my soul
I didn′t recognized him on the dead man's road

Oh no, he′s dead and cold
Don't go down the dead man's road
A dead man′s road

I cheated on my woman and I cheated myself
I cheated my mother and my father, everybody else
I came to know Jesus and he saved my soul
Changed my direction from the dead man′s road

Oh no, he's dead and cold
Don′t go down the dead man's road
A dead man′s road

Oh no, he's dead and cold
Don′t go down the dead man's road
A dead man's road
