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 is 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 In a dead man's In a dead man's In a dead man's shoes In a dead man's shoes
