racer x - dead man's shoes lyrics

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
i 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
