Dead Man Walkin' Lyrics

I keep myself out of trouble these days

Avoid the card games and the barrooms and the alleyways

There ain't no depth to the hell you might find

There ain't no bottom in the dark of the idle mind

But one of these days I'm gonna find out

Just what I am made of

But I can wait a little longer

I'm just a dead man walking anyway

I'm just a dead man walking anyway

And I taken pains just to keep my nose clean

Keep my mind so sharp and my body lean

Well just one sip won't kill you I suppose

But it's a steep and long and a slippery slope

But one of these days I'm gonna find out

Just what I am made of

Oh can't you tell that I got no heartbeat

I'm just a dead man walking after all

I'm just a dead man walking after all

I keep myself out of trouble these days

I'm just a dead man walking anyway
