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
