Dead End Road Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm just an underthinkin', overusin', tall drinkin', short fusin'
Gettin' in my own way
I'm just a blood-stained, folded hands
Throwin' back the milligrams
I can't find the brakes
I'm hiding from the sun
Devil ridin' shotgun
God knows I'ma crash and burn

[Chorus]
'Cause that highway to hell is the road I'm on
I need to turn around before I'm too far gone
If I'm ever gonna make it on them streets of gold
I gotta quit livin' on a dead end road

[Verse 2]
I'm a red-linin', low-lifein', anything but law abidin'
Feels too good to quit
I'm running off the edge, they say I'm just a wreck
Digging me deeper than six

[Chorus]
'Cause that highway to hell is the road I'm on
I need to turn around before I'm too far gone
If I'm ever gonna make it on them streets of gold
I gotta quit livin' on a dead end road

[Bridge]
I'm gonna die livin' on a dead end road
I'm gonna die livin' on a dead end road
I'm gonna die livin' on a dead end road
Die livin' on a dead end road

[Chorus]
'Cause that highway to hell is the road I'm on
I need to turn around before I'm too far gone
If I'm ever gonna make it on them streets of gold
I gotta quit livin' on a dead end road
If I'm ever gonna make it on them streets of gold
I gotta quit livin' on a dead end road

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
