Dead Man’s Curve Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Grandaddy called her princess
County fair called her queen
High school called her cum laude
Most likely to succeed
Her daddy's backwood crazy
She's got two six-foot-four brothers
You take one step onto that front porch
And you one crazy motherf—
Chase will 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

[Chorus]
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, oh

[Verse 2]
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 you're looking for
She's gonna take you down and leave you comin' back for more
[Chorus]
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)

[Bridge]
What you doing wildin' up here?
You a dead man
Yeah

[Chorus]
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)

[Outro]
Dead man's curve
Oh
You're comin' in way too hot
You done hit the wrong turn, boy
You're a dead man
Hahaha

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
