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
