HEAVEN DOWN A DEAD END ROAD

Driving 100 miles an hour down a dead end road

With Johnny and June singing “Jackson” on the radio

Got a cigarette burning in my left hand

Always say I’m not a smoker, but I guess I am

And another exit passes in the pouring rain

It’s a two lane road and I’m running the wrong way

With my foot on the gas and no place to go

I hear my father’s voice saying take it slow

Boy you can’t get to Heaven down a dead end road

I’m a pretty bad person but a really good fool

With nothing to show but a Bible full of broken rules

Well I hurt like the devil and look like hell

Oh, I’m a little lost if you can’t tell

And another exit passes in the pouring rain

It’s a two lane road and I’m running the wrong way

With my foot on the gas and no place to go

I hear my father’s voice saying take it slow

Boy you can’t get to Heaven down a dead end road

Who is this inside my skin

Got to find myself again

Before I make it to the end

Of this two lane road in the pouring rain

Before I run out of chances to change my ways

With my foot on the gas and no place to go

I hear my father’s voice saying take it slow

Boy you can’t get to Heaven down a dead end road

Boy you can’t get to Heaven down a dead end road
