lyrics

Renegade Rick he got kicked out of the US armed forces
And now his divorce is all final and he’s goin’ to school taking night courses
And bettin’ on the wrong horses
He got a three legged dog who’s just lost in a fog of old age
Rescued from a cage, now he just sleeps on the couch in his final stage
And it’s time to turn a new page

If there’s a lesson to be learned, it’s lost on me
You take a few wrong turns of the road to nowhere
You never know who you might meet
Livin’ on a dead end street

Rosemary studies astrology and dyes her hair black
Tattoo on her back, y’know she had so many girlfriends we kinda lost track
Might wanna take a few steps back
She got a sister in Pittsburgh, workin’ at the local drive-thru
And baby makes two. Wonder where the future went and drove off to.
What else you gonna do?

If there’s a lesson to be learned, it’s lost on me
You take a few wrong turns of the road to nowhere
You never know who you might meet
Livin’ on a dead end street

You can follow the signs but the land mines will not be on the map
And it seems like such a snap. You don’t know if you’re walking to a treasure or a trap
Till it lands on your lap

They’ll say “you do the math”, but sometimes y’know it just don’t add up
You take a few wrong steps off the beaten path
And the grass grows up around your feet
Livin’ on a dead end street

Better get on back
To that lonely cul-de-sac
Just past the railroad tracks
