[Intro]
| D | D | D | D |
[Verse 1]
D G His momma ran off when he was just a kid A D So he never really knew her at all D G Just a picture of a girl in a sad blue dress A D Hanging beside the cross on a wall
[Verse 2]
D G His daddy used to drive those eighteen wheelers A D Now he tries to follow, deep into the nights D G He was always saying to his son, "You just no good" A D "You'll never do anything right"
[Verse 3]
D G The screams and the bruises and the broken bottles A D Things, things he understood D G From busted chairs to a broken heart A D He got away as soon as he could
[Verse 4]
D G When he was just eighteen he got his very own gun A D And shot a kid in a liquor store one night D G He was all mixed up, he never understood why A D He was only looking to prove his daddy right
[Chorus]
G A D He was drivin' down a dead end street G A D He was never gonna get back on his feet G A D D/C# Bm Somewhere deep down inside, he knew G A D He was drivin' down a dead end street

[Verse 5]
D G He was a lonely boy from the wrong side of town A D His momma never put him first D G No matter what he did, it'd never be enough A D He was hung out and strung out, the works
[Verse 6]
D G He learned to fight and he learned to run A D And he learned how to take care of his blues D G He didn't have a reason to believe in God A D So he figured he had nothing to lose
[Chorus]
G A D He was drivin' down a dead end street G A D He was never gonna get back on his feet G A D D/C# Bm Somewhere deep down inside, he knew G A D He was drivin' down a dead end street G A D He was drivin' down a dead end street G A D He was never gonna get back on his feet G A D D/C# Bm Somewhere deep down inside, he knew G A D He was drivin' down a dead end street G A D He was drivin' down a dead end street
