When I was young, old man sat me on his knee
he told me if I had a dream, I could be what I wanna be
Now life goes on a voice echoes in the wind
it�s telling me to carry on, now I know that it�s him

-chorus-
he said whoa, watch out boy
don�t go messin with your life cause it ain�t no toy
Lord help ya to carry life�s load
it could all pass you by down on dead man�s road

Now I got a good woman
ya know she�s looking out for me
and if I get a little blind ya know she helps me to see
but I gotta keep runnin� because they�re catching up to me
I think I hear that voice again, this time it says to me

-chorus-
he said whoa, watch out boy
don�t go messin with your life cause it ain�t no toy
Lord help ya to carry life�s load
it could all pass you by down on dead man�s road

-instrumental-

when I was young old man sat me on his knee
he told me if I had a dream I could be what I wanna be
now life goes on a voice echos in the wind
it�s telling me to carry on now I know that it�s him

-chorus-
he said whoa, watch out boy
don�t go messin with your life cause it ain�t no toy
Lord help ya to carry life�s load
don�t you let it pass you by down on dead man�s road
-repeat chorus-
