Dead Man Walking (feat. The Lacs)

Yeah, time just slips away, yeah 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 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 (walking, walking) (Yeah, yeah) A dead man walkin', yeah, this the long one This life has got me barely holding by a single thread Gripping on my pistol, squeezing triggers until 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 don't bother me As long as y'all don't touch me, 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 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 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 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 (walking) Oh yeah 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, I'm a dead man walkin', aww 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
