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
