Dead Man Walking - Crucifix, The Lacs

Yeah, time just slips away

I live life like a renegade drifter

Losin' myself on the open road

Runnin' from the pains of a sinner

'Cause ain’t no band-aid for a broken soul

The Devil’s steady tearin' 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 slowin' down until I’m justified (I'm justified)

'Cause I done been steady swingin' 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

A dead man walkin', yeah, this the long one

This life has got me barely holdin' by a single thread

Grippin' on my pistol, squeezing trigger 'til my finger’s red

A lot of folks they like to judge, nudgin' then they hang their head

Hypocrites that don’t give a shit, no common sense don’t bring the dead

Name callin' and pointin' fingers and layin' 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 standin' up and I’m raisin' hell so won’t you come and follow me

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 lookin' 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

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 walkin'

I’m a dead man walkin'

I said, I said

I’m a dead, I’m a dead, I’m a dead man walkin'

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
