  • Granddaddy called her princess
    County fair called her queen
    High school called her cum laude
    Most likely to succeed
    Her daddy's back wood crazy
    She's got two six-foot-four brothers
    You take one step onto that front porch
    And you one crazy motherfucker

    Her chase'll leave you breathless
    Every back road in this town
    She'll love you like a Sunday drive
    And she'll take your poor heart down

    Dead man's curve, dead man's curve
    No redemption, no return
    Good God almighty, gonna crash and burn down dead man's curve
    Dead man's curve, dead man's curve
    Country boys ain't never gonna learn
    Nobody ever makes it through that turn
    Dead man's curve, dead man's curve
    Whoa

    Every man's been tempted
    Greater men have tried
    At best you'll wind up dented
    If you're lucky enough to survive

    Now, she's the finger that you're wrapped around
    She's what every country song's about
    She's the trouble that you're looking for
    She gonna take you down and leave you coming back for more

    Dead man's curve, dead man's curve
    No redemption, no return
    Good God almighty, gonna crash and burn down dead man's curve
    Dead man's curve, dead man's curve
    Country boys ain't never gonna learn
    Nobody ever makes it through that turn
    Dead man's curve (dead man's curve)

    What you doing wilding up here?
    You a dead man

    Yeah (yeah)

    Dead man's curve, dead man's curve
    No redemption, no return
    Nobody ever makes it through that turn
    Dead man's curve
    Dead man's curve, dead man's curve
    Country boys ain't never gonna learn
    Nobody ever makes it through that turn
    Dead man's curve (dead man's curve)

    Dead man's curve
    Oh
    You're coming in way too hot
    You done hit the wrong turn, boy
    You're a dead man Writer/s: John Osborne, Lee Miller, Thomas Osborne
