Dead or Alive Lyrics
I pray for the day I don’t drink my soul dry
Every night
For the rest of my life
I’m driving away, but I’m too drunk to drive
Mary Jane by my side
Feels like ecstasy
Dinner at the table, but I’m counties away
Going astray
I guess a man gets his way
A smile on my face, but I’m clearly unwell
I need water
Or a way out of this hell
I hit the open road like a rambling drunkard
That runs from himself
My destiny is brittle like coal that stains the hands
That reach for the shelf
Where I’m going, I don’t know, but I’ll surely arrive
Dead or alive
The law on my tail for the last couple miles
Did I swerve way too much?
Do they know what’s in my cup?
Red-blue reflection on my rearview mirror
As I’m fading away
In the slammer, I wake
My memory wiped out, so I’m wondering the worst
Did I hurt anyone?
Did I try to run?
My celly says, “Son, how’d you end up in here?”
With the cold-blooded killers
Don’t you look ’em in the eyes
I hit the open road like a rambling drunkard
That runs from himself
My destiny is brittle like coal that stains the hands
That reach for the shelf
Where I’m going, I don’t know, but I’ll surely arrive
Dead or alive
I hit the open road like a rambling drunkard
That runs from himself
My destiny is brittle like coal that stains the hands
That reach for the shelf
Where I’m going, I don’t know, but I’ll surely arrive
Dead or alive
