Dead Man

Verse/Instrumentals Bridge Bit I got dead man's rod dead man's reel Dead man's tuxedo with a lived in feel Dead man's desk and a dead man's chair No I ain't dead yet, but I'm getting there From a dead man's closet I got a dead man's belt A pair of bedroom slippers Worn out was how they felt And an old tweed jacket with patched elbows Dress rehearsal in a dead man's clothes Yeah I walked a mile in a dead man's shoes Paid off a dead man's debts, and all his union dues Slept with a dead man's widow, took in a dead man's kid Whatever I could was all I did. ) I wore a dead man's pants, with a dead man's shirt tried all of it on, hell it couldn't hurt Clothes make the man, so it's been said But a man sports a shroud when he's buried and he's dead Tried a dead man's hat on and it hurt my head Replayed an outgoing message, the last words he said I got a dead man's watch ain't no big crime I ain't dead yet, I got a little more time I read a dead man's will, cashed a dead man's cheque Tied a dead man's neck tie round my neck I wrecked a dead man's car, I sank a dead man's boat I said a dead man's pray another dead man wrote Played a dead man's guitar, sang a dead man's song I guess you'll starting to wonder how long will this go on It's almost over, when its sung done and said I'll sleep dream and die in a dead man's bed
