Dead Man Walkin' |

| There s a pale horse coming
And I m gonna ride it I'll rise in the morning With my fate beside it I m a dead man walkin' I m a dead man walkin' In Saint James Parish I was born and Christened Now, I got my story Mister there ain't no need for you to listen It's just a dead man talkin' I had a job, I had a girl But between our dreams and actions lie this world In the deep forest Their blood and tears rushed over me All I could feel was the drugs and shotgun And my fear up inside me Like a dead man talkin' 'Neath the summer sky my eyes went black Sister I won t ask for forgiveness, My sins are all I have Now the clouds above my prison Move slowly cross the sky There s a new day comin And my dreams are full tonight |
