Deadman Walking Lyrics

Im a dead man walking

Since you walked out on me

I'm a dead man walking

Since you set me free

You put chains around my ankles

Steel collar round my neck

You chained me to your loving

Now you sentenced me to death

Now I'm a dead man

I'm a dead man walking

I wanted to spend my whole life

Chained to your heart

I didn't wanna die

But you ripped those chains apart

Now I'm a dead man

I'm a dead man walking

You put me in your prison

And I never once complained

I was glad to be sentenced

And you wanted me detained

Now I'm a dead man

I'm a dead man walking

I wanted to spend my whole life

Shackled to your love

I copped a guilty plea

But you let me off

Now I'm a dead man

I'm a dead man walking

You're the accuser judge and jury

And the meanest one I've seen

I wanted twenty five to life

But you set me free

Now I'm a dead man

I'm a dead man walking

I wanted to be locked up with you

Every single day

You've locked me out of your cold heart

And thrown the keys away

Now I'm a dead man

I'm a dead man walking

So stick that needle in my arm

Point the trigger at my head

Electrocute gas me

Dont leave me the walking dead

Best of all just say you're joking

Didn't mean a word you said

You really just don't know

What came right into your head

Now I'm a dead man

I'm a dead man walking

I'll be thinking of your pretty face

The only memory I've left

Thinking of your pretty face

As I take my last steps

Thinking of your pretty face

As I take my last breath

Thinking of your pretty face

Even though I'm dead

I'm a dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking
