Doc Holliday - Dead Man's Road

I had a good friend,
in my hometown.
Early this morning,
they laid 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 saying,
"It won't happen to me!",
'cause it feels good, and that makes it
so easy to believe.

My friend was young and strong,
like everybody else.
I began to understand,
when I got there myself!

All the good time losers,
they knew my name.
Just "small-time" users,
waiting on the train.

I danced with the Devil,
he tried to get my soul!
I didn't recognize 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, 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!
