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
