Dead Man's Shoes

Hard whiskey and rum

Feels like I'm living

Under god's thumb

Poeple say it all the time

That my life

It ain't worth a dime

Now I cry

And I try moving to

A land that is new

I been walking the mile

In a dead man's shoes

In a dead man's shoes

Got this planet on my back

One foot forward

Fifty steps back

My body holds an empty heart

Looks like an ending

I know it's no start

Will I die

When I try travelin' through

Pass the light that is true

Feel I'm walking god's mile

In a dead man's shoes

In a dead man's shoes

It's not that my soul's fallen down

Encased in a rust growing round

The preacher he won't pray for me

Am I trapped in this life eternally

Now I cry

When I try

Passing through

The light of a new

Going mile after mile

In a dead man's shoes

In a dead man's shoes

In a dead man's shoes

In a dead man's shoes
