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
