Road to Ruin (Dead Zone Version)
My father was a carpenter
My mother was a secretary
They raised me up to be like them
To find me a girl who I could marry
In all these years I ain't found one
A wife or kids I ain't got none
I think about the wrong I've done
And I know all I had is gone
I know damn well what I'm doing
I'm going down the road to ruin
I fooled around and played with fire
My altitude kept getting higher
I'm going through an awful storm
I know I'm bound to someplace warm
Someday I'll go to that one place
Where sinners pay for their mistakes
Around and round the world has turned
I played with fire and I got burned
I know damn well what I'm doing
I'm going down the road to ruin
