Dead Man Walkin' (from "Dead Man Walkin'")

There's a pale horse comin' I'm gonna ride it I'll rise in the morning My fate decided I'm a dead man walkin' I'm a dead man walkin' In St. James Parish I was born and christened Now I've got my story Mister, no need for you to listen It's just a dead man talkin' Once I had a job, I had a girl But between our dreams and actions Lies this world In the deep forest Their blood and tears rushed over me All I could feel was the drugs and the shotgun And my fear up inside of me Like a dead man talkin' 'Neath a 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 across the sky There's a new day comin' And my dreams are full tonight
