Lyrics:

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
