Dead Man Walkin’ Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen

There′s a pale horse comin'
I′m gonna ride it
I'll rise in the morning
My fate decided
I'm a dead man walkin′
I′m a dead man walkin'

In St. James Parish
I was born and christened
Now I′ve got my story
Mister, no need for you to listen
It's just a dead man talkin′


Once I had a job, I had a girl
But between our dreams and actions
Lies this world

In the deep forest
Their blood and tears rushed over me
All I could feel was the drugs and the shotgun
And my fear up inside of me
Like a dead man talkin'

′Neath a summer sky, my eyes went black
Sister, I won't ask for forgiveness
My sins are all I have

Now the clouds above my prison
Move slowly across the sky
There's a new day comin′
And my dreams are full tonight
