Deadman Walkin'

Standing at the burning house

Memories going round

Of what he has done and what should be

Feels like falling down

Emotions keep on running wild

While loosing all around

Life seems like a tragedy

Lost what he had found

Packed up his belongings

Saddled up his horse

Left this town in agony

Left with this remorse

A gunman on his way to hell

The sun is going down

Has to do what must be done

Deadman on the run

Until the time has come

Had to carry on

Always on the run

Shadows of the past

It seems like a Deadman walkin’

His loneliness is more than pain

Drying out his heart

Former leader of the pack

Looking for a start

He used to work hard every day

Rugged and handsome pal

Salvation, it has crossed his way

With the one so hard to find

Time for joy has been so short

And good has changed to bad

Beloved wife died in a year

And took with her his lad

He don’t know what he’s fighting for

Glory and for fame

His past is buried in Lamar

The whole world is to blame

Until the time has come

Had to carry on

Always on the run

Shadows of the past

It seems like a Deadman…

All his life, all his pride

The bleeding never ends

All the shadows of the dead

Will get him now at last

He looks for reasons in the planes

Trouble is all he found

Just a man of circumstance

Gets back up the ground

The hangman has its bloody rope

Tied around his neck

The reaper is gonna have to wait

Your number is not up yet

Until the time has come

Had to carry on

Until the time has come

Shadows of the dead

Well, it seems like a Deadman walkin’
