Tyler Braden - Love Is A Dead End Road Lyrics

Thought it was finding someone that was just like me
Wanted college football up on the big screen
Every Saturday all through Fall
But no, love is a dead end road
Thought it meant she'd pick a guitar
Shoot pool with the boys in a smoky old bar room
And throw 'em back without a second thought
But love is a dead end road

On the outskirts of our hometowns
Where the black top turns into gravel drive sounds
Pines line the river all the way to our house
Where family and friends, they all gather 'round
To see little bare feet take their very first steps
Talk about it over and over again
Where you thank God it didn't turn out how you thought
Where you got her hand to hold
Love is a dead end road

Thought I had it all planned out
Who she'd be, where we'd be now
One right wrong turn as it turns out
This old boy found
That love is a dead end road

On the outskirts of our hometown
Where the black top turns into gravel drive sounds
Pines line the river all the way to our house
Where family and friends, they all gather 'round
To see her high school love take my little girl's hand
White dress, wedding bells and daddy's last dance
Where you thank God it didn't turn out how you thought
Where you got her hand to hold
Love is a dead end road

Love is a dead end road
On the outskirts of our hometown
Where the black top turns into gravel drive sounds
Pines line the river all the way to our house
Where family and friends, they all gather 'round
To tell daddy goodbye just one more time
Tears shed for one hell of a life
Where you thank God it didn't turn out how you thought
Oh, you thank God it didn't turn out how you thought
Where you got her hand to hold
Love is a dead end road
Love is a dead end road
