I remember when he whispered my name
Pound of flesh for an ounce of fame
Head full of dreams with a heart full of shame
Little too young to know
Up ahead was a downward spiral
I'd wind up in a bed in a house on fire
I guess part of me made it, part of me died
But the part of me that made it out alive
I put that man in the dirt, I left his boots in the past
Threw a rose on his grave and I never looked back
That devil's dead to me, I let him rest in peace
I don't ever go down Dead Man Road
There's a bottle by a hand grenade
There's the rock where I carve my name
There's a shovel that I don't pick up
'Cause a man that's six feet is better left untouched
I put that man in the dirt, I threw his boots in the past
I put a rose on his grave and I never looked back
That devil's dead to me, I let him rest in peace
I don't ever go down Dead Man Road
Down Dead Man Road
Down Dead, down Dead Man Road
I put that man in the dirt, I threw his boots in the past
I put a rose on his grave and I never looked back
That devil's dead to me, I let him rest in peace
I don't ever go
I put that man in the dirt, I threw his boots in the past
I put a rose on his grave and I never looked back
That devil's dead to me, I let him rest in peace
I don't ever go down Dead Man Road
Down Dead Man Road
Down Dead Man Road
Down Dead Man Road
