VERSE 1 (Crucifix)
I live life like a renegade drifter, losing myself on the open road. Running from the pains of a sinner, cuz ain’t no band-aid for a broken soul. The Devil’s steady tearing out the best of me, screaming “fair game” but he must’ve lied. Cuz now there ain’t too much left of me, but I ain’t slowing down until I’m justified. I done been steady swinging at the bottom of a hangman’s rope. Maybe it’s a sad plan dreaming, I’m a madman screaming... but I can’t stop believing there’s hope. Oh Lord.
HOOK
I’m like a dead man walking back from the grave to find where I went wrong. Everything I love is dead and gone, every night I sing this dead man’s song. I got hell on a trigger, got a bottle of Jack and I’m right where I belong, stuck in between heaven and being dead wrong, so from here until I’m dead and gone I’m a dead man walking.
VERSE 2 (The Lacs)
This life has got me barely holding by a single thread, gripping on my pistol, squeezing triggers until my finger’s red. A lot of folks they like to judge, nudging then they hang their head. Hypocrites that don’t give a shit, no common sense don’t bring the dead. Name calling and pointing fingers and laying blame don’t bother me, as long as y'all don’t touch me, my family and my property. My prophecy wasn’t prodigy, in the ground I’ll probably be but I’m standing up and I’m raising hell so won’t you come and follow me. I’m a cornered up, pissed off cracker in a cage. Get you one coin missed call, take it to the grave. I guess I’ll take the mask off and let you judge me, but the looking didn’t last long cuz bitch I’m ugly. I can’t blend in, eyes cut you to the bone, now my covers been blown, I’m supposed to be alone. Like a hairpin trigger kill, I don’t know we’re wrong but I keep singing this song and I’m stuck under a stone.
