Dead Man Walking
There's a pale horse comin'
And I'm gonna ride it
I'll rise in the mornin'
With my fate beside it
I'm a dead man walkin'
I'm a dead man walkin'
In Saint James Parish
I was born and Christened
How I got my story
Mister, there ain't no need for you to listen
I'm just a dead man talkin'
I had a job, I had a girl
But between our dreams and action, lie this world
In the deep forest
Their blood and tears washed over me
All I could feel was the drugs and shotgun
And my fear up inside me
Like a dead man walkin'
'Neath the 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 'cross the sky
There's a new day comin'
And my dreams are full tonight
