b e a t e n   r o a d

the dusty road leads to nowhere
i got a song going round in my head
i ain't slept a wink for days by now
by now

and my poor boots are long long dead
i shout real loud no-one hears what i said
but i need to take this last stand for my mind
my mind

and i gotta leave my past behind
on the beaten
on the beaten road

i got a pocket full of money
where it came from i just can't tell
i do dirty deeds and i'll do 'em dirt cheap

if i've told ya once i'll tell ya twice
bein' my right hand man mmm just ain't nice
i run into town i beat a man down
i'll steal his girl, job and wallet
you got it!

i gotta leave my past behind
on the beaten
on the beaten road
the beaten road
the beaten road
the beaten road

man said "have you got the faith??"
and I replied, "only in me!"
ha ha!

one day soon my time will come
live by the sword and die by the gun
death or glory there's no other way
so I'll keep on tryin' til my dyin' day

my will to survive should keep me alive
oh yeah
i'll get outa bed i'll do what I said before I'm a man dead
on the beaten
on this beaten road

i gotta leave my past behind 
on the beaten
on the beaten road

the beaten road
the beaten road
the beaten road
