Em                           A
When I was young ,Old man sat me on his knee
                        D                            A
He told me if I had a dream, I could be what I wanna be
              Em                          A
Now life goes on, A voice echoes in the wind
                         Em                        A
It's telling me to carry on, Now I know that it's him

-Chorus-
           D              A
He said, Whoa, watch out boy
          G                                A
on't go messin' with your life 'cause it ain't no toy
D                 A
Lord help ya to carry life's load
     G                             A   
It could all pass you by down on Dead Man's Road
                   Em                                  A
Now I got a good woman, You know she's lookin' out for me
                        D                              A
And if I get a little blind, You know she helps me to see
                     Em                                  A
But I gotta keep a runnin', Cause they're catchin' up to me
                                              
                           Em                         A
I think I hear that voice again, This time it says to me

-Chorus- 

          D              A
He said, Whoa, watch out boy
          G                                A
on't go messin' with your life 'cause it ain't no toy
D                 A
Lord help ya to carry life's load
     G                             A   
It could all pass you by down on Dead Man's Road

-Instrumental-
             Em                           A
When I was young ,Old man sat me on his knee
                        D                            A
He told me if I had a dream, I could be what I wanna be
              Em                          A
Now life goes on, A voice echoes in the wind
                         Em                        A
It's telling me to carry on, Now I know that it's him

-Chorus-
           D              A

D                 A
Lord help ya to carry life's load
     G                             A   
It could all pass you by down on Dead Man's Road
