Heaven Down a Dead End Road

Driving a hundred miles an hour down a dead end road
Johnny and June singing Jackson on the radio
I got a cigarette burning in my left hand
I always say I’m not a smoker but I guess I am
And all the rights and passes in the pouring rain
It’s a two lane road and I am 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
Oh you can, it’s a heaven down a dead end road
Well I’m a pretty bad person but a really good fool
Just lost all my money in a gambling pool
But I hurt like the devil and look like hell
Oh I’m a little lost if you can tell
And all the rights and passes in the pouring rain
It’s a two lane road and I am 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
Oh you can, it’s a heaven down a dead end road
Who is this inside my skin
I gotta find myself again
For I make it to live
Oh 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
Oh you can, it’s a heaven down a dead end road
Oh you can, it’s a heaven down a dead end road
