I know this ain't what you came to see, I'm a dead man walking oh ya, dead man walking ya, I'm a dead man walking oh ya
This ain't what you came to see, I'm a dead man walking oh ya, dead man walking ya, I'm a dead man walking oh ya
Sometimes I'm so broken I sit and think, when will the Lord say my race is complete
I'm running so hard that my legs just feel weak, worry so much I ain't slept in a week
These days just go faster, my pain just goes number I'm feeling cold but it's time for the summer
Been here my whole life won't get out this slumber, you could say life chopped me down like some lumber
I just keep pressing until God calls my number, I just take pain if he tells me to suffer
Built for this life because I came out the gutter, ready for pain because I know it gets tougher
Keep it one hundred I count as a loss, I deserve death if you count up the cost
Always be tripping I drown in my thoughts, can't go on my own so I bow to the cross
I know this ain't what you came to see, I'm a dead man walking oh ya, dead man walking ya, I'm a dead man walking oh ya
This ain't what you came to see, I'm a dead man walking oh ya, dead man walking ya, I'm a dead man walking oh ya
Sometimes I feel like I'm so gone in my mind, praying these devils move on with some time
I can't get rid of this thorn in my side, I just press on for my sons and my wife
I'm filled up with sin in this body of death, overtaken by curse that can not be oppressed
Facing these things that just got me depressed but I know I'm straight because God sees the test
I know that I ain't seen half of the fight, I just put my hope in after this life
Pray I don't perish for lack of the sight, I been searching for years for the path of the right
Sometimes I don't know if I found it, probably if you knew you astounded
I'm honestly surprised he allowed, ain't nothing left to say about it, I'm a dead man
I know this ain't what you came to see, I'm a dead man walking oh ya, dead man walking ya, I'm a dead man walking oh ya
This ain't what you came to see, I'm a dead man walking oh ya, dead man walking ya, I'm a dead man walking oh ya
