I graduated school and set out my way
To the world to chase a dream
A simple twist of fate turned a twisted path
Of alcohol and methamphetamines
It's the same old story I've heard a thousand times
Of lost souls and wicked deeds of men
But on moonlit night down on bended knee
I swore id never go that path again
I spent a life time in that world
I've seen some men go down real hard
I've heard them knockin on my door
I just can't go down that road no more
I just can't go down that road no more
I did the best I could to try to hide my shame
The light of day it rarely fell on me
I'd stay up nights on end howlin at the moon
While hounds of hell they ran with me
I don't know what it was that woke me from dream
It gave me back my life to save
All my friends that continued down that road
Well they're crazy or in a cell or in a grave
I spent a life time in that world
I've seen some men go down real hard
I've heard them knockin on my door
I just can't go down that road no more
I just can't go down that road no more
Cause there's a darkness darker than black
So far gone you can't make it back
I spent a life time in that world
I've seen some men go down real hard
I've heard them knockin on my door
I just can't go down that road no more
I just can't go down that road no more
