Chorus: i'm a dead man walkin' - breathin' and talkin' i'm a dead man walkin', i'm walkin' through this life. i'm a dead man walkin' - i hear jesus talkin', i'm a dead man walkin', i'm walkin' through this life.

The man i was, was awful - i sentenced him to die so i could start all over - and that's the reason why. (chorus)


It's doing wrong that kills ya - yeah, that's the price you pay. unless the spirit fills you - and then like me you'll say ...chorus



Those things i did that thrilled me - oh man did they feel nice but that old emptiness came floodin' back - after once or twice ....chorus


There's folks who think i'm crazy - but if the truth be told what people think won't matter much - when i'm walkin' on streets of gold . ...chorus
