Dead Man Walking

(专辑： Desperado - 2019)

[Crucifix:]
Yeah, time just slips away
I live life like a renegade drifter
Losing myself on the open road
Running from the pains of a sinner
'Cause ain't no band-aid for a broken soul
The Devil's steady tearing out the best of me (Best of me)
Screaming "fair game" but he must've lied (Must've lied)
'Cause now there ain't too much left of me (Left of me)
But I ain't slowing down until I'm justified (I'm justified)
'Cause I done been steady swinging at the bottom of a hangman's rope
Maybe it's a sad plan dreaming, I'm a madman screaming
But I can't stop believing there's hope, oh Lord

Like a dead man walking back from the grave to find where I went wrong
Everything I love is dead and gone
Every night I sing this dead man's song
I got hell on a trigger, got a bottle of Jack and I'm right where I belong
Stuck in between heaven and being dead wrong
So from here until I'm dead and gone
I'm a dead man walking

[Uncle Snap:]
A dead man walking, yeah, this the long one
This life has got me barely holding by a single thread
Gripping on my pistol, squeezing trigger 'til my finger's red
A lot of folks they like to judge, nudging then they hang their head
Hypocrites that don't give a shit, no common sense don't bring the dead
Name calling and pointing fingers and laying blame it don't bother me
Long as y'all don't touch me and my family and my property
My prophecy wasn't prodigy, in the ground I'll probably be
But I'm standing up and I'm raising hell so won't you come and follow me

[Rooster:]
I'm a cornered up, pissed off cracker in a cage
Get you one coin missed call, take it to the grave
I guess I'll take the mask off and let you judge me
But the looking didn't last long 'cause bitch I'm ugly
I can't blend in, eyes cut you to the bone
Now my covers been blown, I'm supposed to be alone
Like a hairpin trigger kill, I don't know we're wrong
But I keep singing this song and I'm stuck under a stone

[Crucifix:]
Like a dead man walking back from the grave to find where I went wrong
Everything I love is dead and gone
Every night I sing this dead man's song
I got hell on a trigger, got a bottle of Jack and I'm right where I belong
Stuck in between heaven and being dead wrong
So from here until I'm dead and gone
I'm a dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
I said, I said
I'm a dead, I'm a dead, I'm a dead man walking

Like a dead man walking back from the grave to find where I went wrong
Everything I love is dead and gone
Every night I sing this dead man's song
I got hell on a trigger got a bottle of Jack and I'm right where I belong
Stuck in between heaven and being dead wrong
So from here until I'm dead and gone
I'm a dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man wal-wal-wal-walking
I'm a dead man walking

Devil had his shot and he took it. It was a flesh wound but it'll heal eventually. In the end it was comfort that brought me down. I got comfortable. Comfortable with life. Comfortable with how strong I thought I was But every man must fall eventually. I did a lot of bad things. Hurt a lot of people. I lost everything 'cause of it. Now I walk this desert, my prison, my punishment. But I'll find my way home... eventually
