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 pa**es 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 pa**es 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
