I ran into a roadblock Which could be my middle name My life was in danger But I accept none of the blame I should have walked away And left the way I came Heading straight towards The west sunset horizon The black tar moving backwards Up ahead, I saw some lights That made me stop my truck A roadblock has been set up My clock started ticking and now I'm about to run out of luck I shot a man in self defense He was trying to collect he said Money that was owe to him And recover a lost debt In a case of mistaken identity I had to make a choice to end his life On the first day we ever met I ran into a roadblock Which could be my middle name. My life was in danger I accept some of the blame I could have walked away And left the way I came Many eyes were upon me As he was grasping his last breath My gun was still smoking From the bullet that caused his death Witnesses came forward And said I was the one Who killed this poor man That sent me on the run I had no other choice. But to go on the lam My picture has been posted. And now they know my name I'm about to face injustice From the towns ruthless lawman Who never backs down and enjoys his notorious fame My life's been full of stumbles. It seems I can’t escape Many times, face down in the gutter In another drunken state With my many past mistakes I'm heading toward that Roadblock To learn my latest fate I ran into some roadblock Which is my middle name My life was in danger But I accept all the blame I should have walked away And left the way I came Song written by Gary Grassomore
