Lyrics
DEAD END ROAD
© 2013 Diana Rasmussen
What do you do
when he just walks out?
And goes back to the hell
where you pulled him out?
What do you do
when he just walks out?
And goes back to the hell
where you pulled him out?
Booze and drugs have called to him
and He's followed them again
And He's flirting with death
walking on a dead end road
Yes He's flirting with death
as he's walking on a dead end road
(instrumental break)
He takes all the money
and turns off his phone
Disappears for days
will he make it home?
What do you do
when he just walks out?
And goes back to the hell
where you pulled him out?
Yes he's dancing with the Devil on a dead end road
Yes he's dancing with the Devil on a dead end road
