CRUCIFIX, The Lacs - Dead Man Walking lyrics

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
