Dead Man Lyrics by Patrick Lilly

2019

Down the road where we went back
Burnt up tire tracks
Hell yeah to the moon
You can find a half burnt log
Or a stray bird dog
That granddad used to use
And you better watch your step 'round the shed in the back
No telling what a snake might do
But if you come across a man with a badge in his hand
You know what to do

You take a ride on the road
Where the asphalt turns to dirt
Right across 16
Then you hightail to Bobby's back 40 farm
That runs where the river gets deep
And if you make it past Bobby's mom and the law
You may just make it free
But if you run into Bobby's dad on the land
Then you're a dead man

Bobby's dad was a tall six foot four
Piss him off and he'll make you pay
Like to come in red as fire
From working that job all day
He sits down with a whiskey bottle
He'd sip on all night long
Well me and Bobby just let him drink
Pass out and we'd be gone

One night me and Bobby snuck on out
With his daddy's pickup keys
Fresh coat of rain all day
Gonna go to where the water lay
But as we turned the keys that nigh
"Oh Lord," I had to pray
Cause ole Bobby's dad was waking up
And he was on his way

So we took a ride on the road
Where the asphalt turns to dirt
Right across 16
Then we hightail to Bobby's back 40 farm
That runs where the river gets deep
We weren't worried 'bout Bobby's mom and the law
We knew we'd make it free
But I ran into Bobby's dad on the land
Now I'm a dead man

Yeah, I ran into Bobby's dad on the land
Now I'm a dead man
